Installing the rotor
The rotors approved for the
Cryofuge
®
5500i GMP
are
detailed in the chapter “Rotors and Accessories” on
page 17. Use only rotors listed.
To install the rotor
,
you need the socket wrench sup-
plied (see chapter “Schedule of parts” on page 8).
Proceed as follows:
1. Open the lid and make sure that rotor chamber
and rotor are clean. Remove any dust, foreign ma-
terial or sample residues out of chamber before
use.
2. Check whether the collet chuck is loose (collet
chuck moves freely on the spindle). If not, loosen
the rotor seat using the socket wrench supplied.
3. Place the rotor on the drive shaft so that the rotor
chuck is located precisely above the center.
4. The rotor must glide freely down the collet chuck
until it hits the lower stop.
5. If you have installed the rotor correctly, you can
tighten the collet chuck easily using the socket
wrench supplied.
6. Place the rotor lid on the rotor and screw it tightly.
Regularly check the correct positioning
of the rotor and re-tighten the collet
chuck as needed.
