Removing the Rotor
To remove the rotor, proceed as follows:
1. Open the centrifuge lid.
2. Grab the rotor handle with both hands and press against the green AutoLock

time, pull the rotor directly upwards with both hands and remove it from the centrifuge spindle.
Make sure not to tilt the rotor while doing this.

When using an aerosol tight lid the rotor can only be removed with the lid closed. This is to protect
you and the samples.
