The IKA mini G centrifuge is supplied with two rotors.
One rotor is for 1.5 or 2 ml micro-tubes and one rotor is
for 0.2 ml PCR strip tubes.
The rotor for 1.5 or 2 ml micro-tubes allows up to eight
different 1.5 or 2 ml tubes to be centrifuged. The adapter
supplied for 0.5 ml vessels also allows up to eight different
0.5 ml tubes to be centrifuged.
Useful information
The rotor for 0.2 ml PCR strip tubes allows up to 32 x 0.2
ml PCR strips to be centrifuged.
Both rotors are suitable for applications which demand rel-
atively low centrifugal acceleration, such as micro-filtration,
cell separation and quick centrifugal separation.
Setting up:
• Stand the device at a suitable location and level it. When
setting up the centrifuge, maintain a safety clearance of
300 mm all around it.
While the centrifuge is running, the safety clearance of
300 mm all around must be kept clear of persons, objects
and hazardous materials.
• Check that the power supply matches the data on the
rating plate.
• Plug the AC adapter into a standard mains socket in order
to supply the device with power. See the section "Techni-
cal data" for the connection values.
• Also pay attention to the ambient conditions listed in the
“Technical data”.
If these conditions are met the unit
is ready for service when the mains
plug has been plugged in.
Opening the cover:
To open the cover, press the "Release cover" button (item C).
The cover opens with a damped movement.
Closing the cover:
Press the cover down manually until it clicks into place.
The cover should close easily.
Commissioning
Inserting and removing the rotor:
Slacken or remove the rotor securing nut (item A), then
place the rotor on the motor shaft. It must slide on until it
reaches a clearly felt stop. Now secure the rotor by tight-
ening the rotor nut (finger-tight clockwise). Restrain the
rotor by hand while the nut is being tightened.
Before starting the centrifuge, always check that the rotor
is securely fastened.
To undo the rotor, restrain the rotor by hand and then
unscrew the rotor nut anticlockwise. If the rotor nut is too
tight, a tool (such as a screwdriver) can be used to undo it.
Loading the rotor:
• The rotor must always be loaded symmetrically, see Fig. 8.
• Fill the centrifuging vessels before placing them in the
device.
• Do not overfill the centrifuging vessels beyond the maxi-
mum amounts stated by the manufacturer.
• Take care to fill centrifuging vessels equally so as to keep
the difference in weight between centrifuging vessels
as small as possible. Tare the centrifuging vessels using
scales.
