Operation

Run Procedure

WARNING

Normal operation may involve the use of solutions and test samples that are

pathogenic, toxic, or radioactive. Operator error or tube failure may generate

aerosols. Do not run potentially hazardous materials in this centrifuge unless all

appropriate safety precautions are taken. Always use the appropriate rotors and

adapters.

Handle all infectious samples according to good laboratory practices and methods

to prevent the spread of disease. Ask your laboratory safety officer to advise you

about the level of containment required for your application and about the proper

decontamination or sterilization procedures to follow if fluids escape from

containers. Biosafe containment should be used when Risk Group II materials (as

identified in the World Health Organization

Laboratory Biosafety Manual

) are

handled; materials of a higher group require more than one level of protection.

Because spills may generate aerosols, observe proper safety precautions

for aerosol containment.

WARNING

The centrifuge must not be used in the vicinity of flammable liquids or vapors, and

such materials should not be run in the centrifuge. During operation you should

come within the 7.6 cm (3-in.) clearance envelope only to adjust instrument

controls, if necessary. Never bring any flammable substances within the 30-cm

(1-ft) area surrounding the centrifuge. Do not lean on the centrifuge or place

items on the centrifuge while it is operating.

Run Procedure

The following detailed operating procedures are summarized at the end of this section. If you

are an experienced user of this centrifuge, you can turn to the summary for a quick review of

operating steps.

Preparation and Loading

For fast temperature equilibration, cool or warm the rotor to the required temperature before the run.

NOTE

For high-speed runs at temperatures of 20°C or higher, prime the refrigeration system (refrigerated

models) by running the instrument at 10°C for 5 to 10 minutes beforehand to prevent overheating.

NOTE

Before installing the rotor, lubricate it following the instructions in the rotor manual.

Check the name rating plate for the correct voltage, then plug the power cord into the wall
receptacle.
