Changing the Rotor
Press the
Open
button to disengage the lid.
Lift the lid. If the desired rotor is already installed, ensure that it is secured to the rotor shaft by inserting the included allen wrench into the
set screw on the underside of the rotor and turning it clockwise to tighten the screw. Do not over-tighten, as doing so may cause cracks in
the underside of the rotor near the set screw.
NOTE: Always store the allen wrench and extra rotors in a safe place.
To change rotors, insert the included allen wrench into the set screw on the underside of the rotor and turn it counter-clockwise to loosen
the screw.
Do not remove the set screw from the rotor. Simply loosen it until you are able to lift the rotor.
Lift off the rotor and set it aside in a safe place.
Select a rotor and slide it down over the motor shaft.
Insert the included allen wrench into the set screw on the underside of the rotor and turn clockwise to tighten the screw. Make certain rotor
is secure on the motor shaft (especially after changing rotors) but do not overtighten.

Spin only balanced loads. Ensure that tubes of similar size and equal weight are placed opposite each other. Use a water-filled tube as a
balance tube if necessary. Proper balancing will improve sample separation and extend the life of the centrifuge. Spinning out of balance
loads may break tubes or damage the centrifuge.
Microtubes and PCR strips are intended to hang by their caps in the centrifuge rotor. Be sure to use good quality tubes that will withstand
forces up to 5,000g.
With the
ON/OFF
switch in the ON position, close the lid to run the cycle.
Note: Always ensure rotor is secure before each use.
This centrifuge does not include a timer. Use a cell phone or digital timer to keep track of the spin time of your application.
