Instructions for Use
When using a swing-out rotor, the samples are placed in plastic inserts.
The load must be statically and dynamically balanced:
•
Static balancing consists of balancing the weight of the 2 inserts
which are in opposite locations in the rotor (±15 to 20 grams).
•
Dynamic balancing consists of placing the tubes in each insert
symmetrically according to the axis of the trunnions.
If less than the maximum complement of samples is loaded, the tubes
must be placed in opposite pockets.
An odd number of tubes requires an additional blank, water-filled tube
of identical total weight to balance.
Significant vibrations can damage the accessories, the unit and the
samples. Most vibration is caused by incorrect loading of the tubes. For
