4.2 Removing and mounting a rotor

4.3 Loading the rotor
To enable safe operation of the minicentrifuge, the rotor must be loaded symmetrically with
identical tubes. Always use the same type of tubes per run.
Each tube should be counterbalanced by another tube. Otherwise the minicentrifuge can be
damaged.
For example, if there is a tube in position 4, a corresponding tube has to be inserted in position 8.
