7. Rotor Preparation
7.1 Prepare the samples
7.2 Inject the samples into tubes
CAUTION:
•
Do not overload samples into the centrifuge which will cause leaking
•
Do not exceed the actual capacity allowed in the user manual
7.3 Keep the tubes balanced
• Although the centrifuge can accept sample balancing by eye, we recommend that you keep this
centrifuge in a well balanced condition to extend its life expectancy
• Never intentionally run the centrifuge under unbalanced condition even though the allowable
imbalance is not exceeded
7.4 Inspect the rotor
Check the rotor for corrosion or scratches before using.
7.5 Symmetrically load centrifuge tubes in rotor
CAUTION:
•
If any abnormality such as corrosions or scratches are found, stop using the rotor and contact the
SLS Service Centre
•
Only manufacturers rotors must be used with the unit
CAUTION:
•
Make sure the rotor lid is securely fixed on the rotor, and check that the rotor and shaft are tightened.
Otherwise, the rotor may be moved off while rotating and cause damage of the centrifuge and rotor
