Operation

Placing the tubes in the rotor
The rotor must be loaded symmetrically. When loading
the rotor only partially, you must ensure that opposite
bores always receive tubes of equal weight (when cen-
trifuging a single sample, place a centrifuge tube e.g.
filled with water opposite). The following figure gives
examples for proper loading.
properly loaded rotors
Uneven loading may lead to damage of
the rotor and centrifuge in extreme
cases. Imbalance not only causes a
noisy run, but also causes premature
abrasion of the drive.
improperly loaded rotors
These examples are to be applied to the other rotors in
an analogous manner!
When you have loaded the tubes, close the rotor lid.
Close the lid of the centrifuge by lightly press-
ing it down. The centrifuge lid must be locked
audibly so that it cannot be manually re-
opened afterwards.
