UNPACKING THE UNIT

initial shipment:
1) Open the lid: Use the included Door Key to press the button
on the right side of the unit.
2) Remove foam pads at the hinge latch and from around
the rotor.

LOADING INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT: The rotor should always
be loaded in a balanced manner to avoid
personal injury and to ensure centrifuge
longevity.
• When any tube is loaded, a tube of the
same type, volume and weight must be
added in the opposite rotor location.
• Never intentionally run the centrifuge in
an unbalanced condition even if operation
is not affected.

The centrifuge rotor can separate samples whose density is lower than 2.0g/ml. If the separated sample’s density is over 2.0g/ml, please
calculate the allowable speed using the following formula:
Allowable Speed (rpm) = Maximum Speed × (2�0(g/ml) / Sample Density (g/ml))1/2
