Space Requirements
The centrifuge should be installed on an even, solid surface, if possible on a laboratory cabinet /
table or some other solid vibration free surface.
During centrifugation, the centrifuge must be placed in a way, that there is a minimum space of
30 cm/11.81in on each side of the unit, according to EN 61010-2-020 standards.
Do not place the centrifuge next to a window or a heater where it could be disposed to excessive
heat, as the performance of the unit is based on an ambient temperature of 23°C/73.4°F.
