Thermo Scientific Medifuge Centrifuge
32
If necessary to get smaller tubes in position, use the spacers (75008818 and 75008817) according
to the tubes used�
4. Rotor Temperature Range
CAUTION
Operate the rotor in a temperature range between -9 °C and 40 °C
only. Pre-cooling in a freezer below -9 °C is not allowed.
NOTICE
The rotor can warm up at high ambient temperatures. Temperatures
above 42 °C can damage blood samples. If necessary let the rotor
cool down between two runs.
5. Rotor Loading
CAUTION
An unbalanced rotor can lead to a crash.
All buckets and tubes necessary for a balanced rotor must be in
position before the rotor is started.
Always use a balanced rotor.
CAUTION
Always make sure that the buckets are aligned and the tubes cannot
touch each other or the rotor locking nut during centrifugation.
Make sure that opposite positions are always balanced� Balance opposite loads in number of tubes
and by position to ensure safe and smooth operation�
Shown pictures are examples for correct and incorrect loading�
