1.1. User Manual
The user manual is part of the centrifuge, and contains important information for your safety and for the
best use of the equipment
Always keep the manual close to the appliance and in a safe place, so that it is always available. Thermo
strongly recommends that all users read this manual carefully.
1.2. Warning Symbols
The following symbols are provided to help the operator take advantage of the protection afforded by the
equipment and to warn of potential danger.
I
On the main switch, allows centrifuge to operate.
O
On the main switch, disconnects the centrifuge from the main power supply.
Only authorized personnel can touch the parts close to this symbol and, in any case, only after
switching off the main power supply. Coming in contact with high voltages could cause severe
injuries.
In this manual, this symbol means that you will find important information for safety , which if
unobserved could result in damage to the appliance and/or harm to the operator.
In this manual, this symbol means that you will find important information about minimizing
biological risk : if unobserved the result could be harm to the operator.
1.3. Description
The C3i and CR3i centrifuges are designed for laboratory use.
They will separate the components of fluids into layers of varying density by subjecting them to high forces.
Centrifugal force provided by the centrifuge can also be used to drive solvents and low molecular weight
solutes through the membrane of a filtering device. Retained macrosolutes will therefore be found above
the membrane.
Relative Centrifugal Force (RCF) generated by a rotor is directly proportional to its sedimentation useful
radius and to the value of its speed squared.
A control system permits the user, through an extremely intuitive control panel, to set and control the
speed, the g-force, the temperature (on the thermostated and refrigerated versions) and the run time, as well
as to view different messages and warnings.
