UNPACKING THE UNIT
Please be sure to remove any packing materials used during initial shipment:
1) Open the lid: Use the included Door Key to press the buttons
on the right and left sides of the unit.
2) Remove foam pads at the hinge latches.

INSTALLING AND BALANCING THE ROTOR
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
