Handling Micro Plate Carriers
1. Always remove the microplates from the microplate carriers for loading.
2. Make sureyou use a rubber bottom placed in the cut outs of the micro plate carrier.
Deepwell plates may be used without the rubber bottom.
3. Make sure the load is balanced.
4. Place the loaded micro plate carriers in therotor.
CAUTION The HIGHPlate™ must always be used with the lid.

Rotor Installation
3-2 HIGHPlate™Thermo Scientific
RotorInstallation
This rotor is equipped with an AutoLock™-system.
This system is used to automatically lock the rotor to the centrifuge spindle. The rotor does not have
to be bolted onto the centrifuge spindle.
Proceed as follows:
1. Open the lid of the centrifuge and if necessary,remove any dust, foreign objects orresidue from
the chamber.
AutoLock™and O-ring must be clean and undamaged.
Figure 3-1. AutoLock™
2. Hold the rotor over the centrifuge spindle and let it slide slowly down the centrifuge spindle.
The rotor clicks automatically into place.
3. Check if the rotor is properly installed by lifting slightly on the handle. If the rotor can be pulled
up, then it must be reclamped to the centrifuge spindle.
CAUTION Unapproved or incorrectly combined accessories can cause serious damage to
the centrifuge.
CAUTION Do not force the rotor onto the centrifuge spindle.
If the rotor is very light, then it may be necessary to press it onto the centrifuge spindle
with a small amount of pressure.
WARNING If the rotor cannot be properly locked in place after several attempts, then the
AutoLock™is defective and you are not permitted to operate the rotor.
Check for any damage tothe rotor, damaged rotors must not be used.
Keep the hub area clear of objects.
