Operation
• Fill the capillary tubes with blood and seal them at one end with putty or
by fusion.
• Place the capillary tubes into the recesses of the rotor with the sealed
end against the rubber ring. Ensure that the capillary tubes fit tightly
against the rubber ring. The opposite places must be loaded.
• Put the rotor cover on and lock it.
• Close the centrifuge lid.
• Enter the following parameters: speed 13,000 rpm, gravitational field
RCF max. 11,903 x g, time approx. 5 min.
• Start the centrifuge.
• Open the centrifuge lid when the rotor has stopped.
• Unlock the rotor cover and lift it off.
Evaluation
• Put the reader onto the rotor.
• Turn the reader and perform a fine adjustment with the aid of the central
eccentric mechanism in order to localize the O-point and the maximum
liquid point in the capillary tubes. You can now read the percentage
value.
• Remove the capillary tubes. Some of the tubes can also be evaluated
with the reader outside of the rotor (see the instructions for use on the
back of the reader).
