1.1 About this user manual
Before using the minicentrifuge for the first time, please read this user manual.
This user manual is part of the minicentrifuge and it should be easily accessible at all times.
If the minicentrifuge is transferred to a third party, this user manual must be included.
1.2
Intended use
The minicentrifuge is intended for indoor laboratory use and similar applications requiring
relatively low centrifugal forces, such as microfiltration, cell separation and quick spin downs
from microcentrifuge tube walls and caps. Any other use is considered as improper.
1.3 Electric current
Do not use the minicentrifuge if it is damaged in any way. If the minicentrifuge, the power
adapter or the power cable is damaged, there is a risk of fatal electric shock. Do not use the
minicentrifuge in this case.
In an emergency, immediately switch off the minicentrifuge or disconnect the power cable at
the back of the minicentrifuge.
Disconnect the minicentrifuge from the power supply to clean it, or if it remains unused for a long
time. Do not immerse the minicentrifuge in water or other liquids or let the power cable come
into contact with water or other liquids.
1.4 Clearance envelope
The clearance envelope is the area around the minicentrifuge (30 cm). Do not stay within the
clearance envelope longer than necessary for operating the minicentrifuge. Do not use or
deposit any potentially hazardous materials near the minicentrifuge.
1.5 Moving rotor
Do not touch the rotor while it is still spinning. Wait until the rotor has completely stopped before
fully opening the lid and removing the tubes.
1.6 Microcentrifuge tubes
Only use plastic microcentrifuge tubes that are designed to withstand centrifugal forces of at
least 2,500 x g. Do not use damaged or deformed tubes. The weight of individual tubes may
not exceed 3.0 g.
1.7
Loading of the rotor
Load the rotor symmetrically to ensure proper balance. Never run the minicentrifuge with only
one tube or one PCR strip in place. Load the rotor only with an even number of tubes or PCR
strips.
Fill the tubes and seal all tube lids carefully before inserting the tubes in the rotor.
Do not centrifuge flammable, explosive or corrosive materials.
