Thermo Scientific MicroClick 30 x 2 Rotor 7
Preface
Before starting to use the rotor, read through this instruction manual carefully and follow the
instructions.
Failure to follow the instructions and safety information in this instruction manual will result in the
expiration of the seller’s warranty.
Items Supplied
If any parts are missing, please contact the nearest Thermo Fisher Scientific representative.
Intended Use
This rotor is used in combination with the according centrifuge as a laboratory product designed to
separate components by generation of Relative Centrifugal Force. It separates human samples (e.g.
blood, urine and other body fluids) collected in appropriate containers, either alone or after addition of
reagents or other additives.
The rotor in the centrifuge is designed to run other containers filled with chemicals, environmental
samples and other non-human body samples.
If the rotor is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the protection provided by the
equipment may be impaired.
This rotor should be operated by trained specialists only.
Precautions
In order to ensure safe operation of the MicroClick 30 x 2 Rotor, the following general safety
regulations must be followed:
• Do not remove the magnet at the rotor bottom.
•Do not use rotors which show any signs of corrosion and / or cracks. Do not touch the
electronic components of the rotor and do not make any changes to the electronic or
mechanical components.
•Use only with rotors which have been loaded properly.

• Never overload the rotor.
•Use only accessories which have been approved by ThermoFisher Scientific. Exceptions to this
rule are commercially available glass or plastic centrifuge tubes, provided they have been approved
for the speed or the RCF value of the rotor.
•If centrifuging any hazardous materials mind the “Laboratory Biosafety Manual”of the World
Health Organization (WHO).
When centrifuging microbiological samples from the Risk Group II (according to the “Laboratory
Biosafety Manual”of the World Health Organization (WHO)), aerosol-tight biological seals have
to be used.
Look on the internet page of the World Health Organization (www.who.int) for the “Laboratory
Biosafety Manual”.
•Observe the safety instructions.
Pay particular attention to the following aspects:
• Rotor installation: Check that the rotor is locked properly into place before operating the
centrifuge.
• Always balance the samples.
Maximum sample density at maximum speed: 1.2-----cmg-----3-
This symbol refers to general hazards.
CAUTION means that material damage could occur.
WARNING means that injuries or material damage or contamination could occur.
This symbol refers to biological hazards.
Observe the information contained in the instruction manual to keep yourself and your
environment safe.

Rotor Installation

Rotor Installation
This rotor is equipped with a Thermo Scientific™ Auto-Lock™-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 or residue from the
chamber.
Auto-Lock and O-ring must be clean and undamaged.
Figure 1. Auto-Lock
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 it 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.
O-ring
Auto-Lock
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
Auto-Lock is defective and you are not permitted to operate the rotor.
Check for any damage to the rotor.Damaged rotors must not be used.
Keep the hub area clear of objects.
CAUTION Check that the rotor is properly locked on the centrifuge spindle before each
use by pulling it at its handle.

4. Close the centrifuge door.
Removing the Rotor
To remove the rotor, proceed as follows:
1. Open the centrifuge door.
2. Grab the rotor handle with both hands and press against the green Auto-Lock button. At the same
time, pull the rotor directly upwards with both hands and remove it from the centrifuge spindle.
Make sure not to jam the rotor while doing this.

WARNING Be sure to check all seals before starting any aerosol-tight applications.
