Thermo Scientific TZ-32 Zonal Rotor
General Description — 35
4. Injection of sample and overlay
a. Pipe on the outer wall of the rotor
Clamp one end of the pipe at an outer position from the tee on the pump side, and put the other end into a
beaker for receiving the “cushion” discharged due to injection of sample and overlay.
b. Pipe on the rotor center
When the lightest gradient solution has filled the tee, clamp both ends of the pipe and stop the pump.Inject a
sample through one end by an injector. Then feed an overlay of 75 ml into the rotor.

CAUTION
Do not feed bubbles while injecting a density gradient solution and sample. Otherwise the gradient solution and
sample will be disturbed. If bubbles are about to enter, lead them to another tube from the tee by setting upright
the tube containing bubbles before they passthrough.
