Load the centrifuge rotor adapter screen when samples are loaded onto the shaker. Position 2 of the rotor adapter is empty.
The number and tube positions of rotor adapters required for the protocol run will be shown in the
table and illustration on your screen. The table shows how to load and position each rotor adapter.
The
Pos.
column indicates the position in the rotor adapter, and the
Lid position
column indicates
where to place the lid of a particular tube.
For each rotor adapter:
1.
Load each tube/spin column in its correct position as indicated in the table on the screen.
Touch the table row to highlight the particular tube position in the illustration below the table.
2.
Ensure that the tubes and spin columns are pushed firmly into the appropriate rotor adapter
position.
3.
Make sure that the lids are pushed all the way down to the bottom of the slots on the sides of
the rotor adapter. Ensure that you place the lids in the correct lid positions.
4.
Label the elution tubes with the same sample ID as the sample on the respective input position
on the shaker (see section 5.4.8, Loading the shaker) or the rotor position number. Be sure to
use a sticky label, which is safely attached.
5.
If required and described in the table, cut off the lid, or screw on a spin-column adapter ring
and break off the bottom of the spin column.
6.
Repeat steps 1–5 until all rotor adapters have been prepared.
