03 The operation principles
The centrifuge machine helps to separate, condense or purify the different density
components (or particles) of the solutions by the usage of centrifugal sedimentation principal.
After placing the centrifuge tubes with equivalent test solutions in the test tubes around the
rotors symmetrically and starting the machine, the RCF produced in the high-speed rotary of
the rotors, which are driven by the motor, separates the different density components (or
particles) in the test solutions. The value of RCF depends on the rotating radius “r” (the
horizontal distance from the position of the test solutions to the axle center) and the rotating
speed “n”, and here is the calculation formula.
RCF＝. 8× 0-6n2r×g
n------------ The rotating speed (r/min)
r------------The rotating radius (mm)
The time (Ts) needed during the separation and deposition of the mixed solutions is
calculated by this formula:
27.4×（logeRmax-logeRmin）μ
Ts ＝min
n2r2（б-ρ）
Type: Rmax------The rotating radius of the test solutions having the farthest distance with the axle center
Rmin------The rotating radius of the test solutions having the nearest distance with the axle center
ρ------The density of the mixed solutions (g/cm )
μ------ The viscosity of the mixed solutions (p)
n ------ The rotating speed (r/min)
r------The particle’s radius (cm)
б------The particle’s density (g/cm )

07 Safety Notice
1. This machine should not be used in the humid places with high temperature and large fugitive dust.
2. To ensure the safety and its centrifugal effect, this machine should be placed in the solid, quake
proof and horizontal platform, and all four undercarriages should be given the balanced load.
. The solutions in the centrifugal tubes should be seen as even as possible. If the solutions in the
tubes vary too much, there would be a large scale of vibration. In this kind of situation, the operating
machine should be stopped its operation and checked to meet the requirement of the solutions in the
tubes. The centrifugal tubes should be placed symmetrically in the even numbers, and the nut caps
connecting the rotors with the motor shaft should be tightened.
4. During the operation process, the centrifugal machine cannot be moved, and the faceplate cannot
be uncovered.
5. The faceplate should not be uncovered in the situation that the motor and the rotors do not stop
www.biolabscientific.co
Benchtop High Speed Refrigerated Centrifuge BCBHR-304
12

the operation completely.
6. The power supply has its own earth wire, so the null line and the earth wire cannot be used
together, so as to prevent the damage of electric shock.
7. After the whole separation, the centrifuge machine should be cleaned up in time, the power switch
should be turn off, and the power supply should be cut off.
8. It should be very careful to take out the rotors. The proper way is to knock upward slightly the
rotors on the bottom by using nonmetal tools (like the handle of the screwdriver) until the connection
between the rotors and the motor shaft becomes loose. The rotors should not be pulled out directly
with hands after loosening the nut caps, so as not to damage the flexible support system of the
machine.
9. The rotors ad the centrifugal tubes should be checked regularly. If there are any cracks or aging
phenomena, those components should be replaced immediately.
Instruction: There is an emergency device on the bottom of the machine. If the sample should be
taken out during the power outage, the faceplate can be uncovered by pulling the stainless wire on
the bottom after the rotors stop the operation. But this device is forbidden to be used during the
operation process.
