WX Ultra series ultracentrifuge
These instructions are intended to be used only as a guide to operate the Sorvall WX Ultra series
ultracentrifuge. We recommend that you
read the Instruction Manual thoroughly, particularly all WARNINGS and CAUTIONS, before
operating the ultracentrifuge.
Before the run
Turn the ultracentrifuge power ON. Open the chamber door and wipe the chamber dry. Place the
rotor carefully on the drive spindle. No further adjustment or locking isnecessary.
Normal operating procedure
1. Using the keyboard cursor keys, input the desired run conditions as follows:
Press a cursor key to enter the system into a wait state (blinking means the system is waiting for
input).
Use the cursor keys to move to the run condition to be changed (SPEED, TIME, TEMP, ACCEL,
DECEL).
Use the numeric keys to enter a new setting. (Entered numbers are moved to the left every time a
new number is entered.)
Use the cursor keys (not the ENTER key) to move between fields as run conditions are entered.
2. After all conditions are set, press ENTER. (Use CE to cancel an input.)
3. Press START. When START is pressed, the run mode indicator in the bottom right corner will
begin to blink “ACCEL” denoting acceleration. Once top speed is reached, the indicator will blink
“RUN”.
End of run
A timed run automatically ends when selected time has elapsed. To end a run with HOLD selected or
to end a timed run before the selected time has elapsed, press STOP.
When STOP is pressed, the run mode indicator in the bottom right corner of that key will display a
DECEL run status icon to begin denoting deceleration. When the rotor comes to a complete stop, a
STOP icon is displayed. To retrieve samples, press VACUUM, allow the vacuum to fully release, then
open the chamber door.
To save, create or delete a program, or to use any of the options in the Function Field or Menu, consult
the Operating Manual for complete instructions.
