Notice
◼
The centrifuge rotor can separate sample which density lower than 2.0g/ml. if the separated
samples density is over 2.0g/ml, please calculate allowable speed depending on the
following formula.
Allow Speed (rpm)= Maximum speed×(2.0(g/ml)/Sample density (g/ml))
1/2
11.1.4
Autoclaving
◼
The rotor makes by high-strength aluminum alloy material, can be high-pressure sterilization:
121
℃
（

）
20 minutes.
CAUTION: The lid of the rotor is made of plastics, can not be high-pressure
sterilization, only ordinary sterilization can be used.
