Translation of the original operating manual
10.1 Maximum speed for tubes
Some tubes, such as centrifuge glass tubes, microtubes, culture tubes,
fluoropolymer tubes and especially high-volume tubes can be used in our rotors,
buckets, and adapters at higher speeds than their breaking limit.
•
Always fill the tubes up to their useful volume (= the volume that is stated for
the tube).
•
When using glass tubes, the maximum value of 4,000 x g must not be
exceeded (except special high-strengh glass tubes; please refer to the
information provided by the manufacturer).
