For each rotor adapter:
1.
For samples: Prepare and load the samples as outlined on the screen. Make sure to load the
correct sample amount. Ensure that you read all essential and critical information indicated in
the blue
Information
box on the right side of the screen.
2.
Load each tube/spin column in its correct position as indicated in the table on the screen.
Touch the table row to highlight the particular tube position in the illustration below the table.
3.
Ensure that the tubes and spin columns are pushed firmly into the appropriate rotor adapter
position.
4.
Make sure that the lids are pushed all the way down to the bottom of the slots on the sides of
the rotor adapter. Ensure that you place the lids in the correct lid positions.
Note
: If required and described in the table, cut off the lid, or screw on a spin-column adapter
ring and break off the bottom of the spin column.
5.
Repeat steps 1–4 until all rotor adapters have been prepared.
6.
Load the rotor adapters into centrifuge. Place the prepared rotor adapters into the centrifuge
buckets as shown on the right side of screen. For ease of use and safety, the rotor adapters fit
in the centrifuge buckets in only one orientation. To prevent sample mix up, ensure to load the
particular Sample ID into the defined centrifuge position.
7.
If required, change the default value in the
Sample ID
fields using the on-screen keyboard. You
can enter the value manually or scan the sample bar code using the external barcode
scanner. The sample ID is initially created using the YYYYMMDD-HHMM-no. format. Be sure
that the same ID can be found on the respective elution tube on a sticky label, which is safely
attached.
