2. Mount the shield plate.
Put the tube setter side of the shield plate to right or left end of the rotor chamber in the centrifuge. Insert the tubes
from the shield plate into the tube setter through the notch of the shield plate. Mount another shield plate, and
position it so that there is no clearance at the center.

3. Feed a gradient solution by pump.
a. Pipe on the outer wall of the rotor
Connect one end to the pump and the other one to the clamp.
b. Pipe on the rotor center
Put one end of the pipe into a beaker containing water. Make sure gradient solution is infected. Clamp the
other end.
CAUTION
at the time of infecting gradient solution. Select such on infection speed of gradient solution that
infection pressure of the pump (pipepressure at infecting side of the seal is below 1 kg/cm²). Special care
should be exercised in selecting an infection speed for a high-viscosity liquid such as sucrose (For 60% solution
of sucrose the infection speed is limited to approximately 35 ml/min.)
