Operation
1. Remove the contents from the package, examining them
carefully for breakage, defects, or missing parts. Save
the packaging.
2. Place Sprout™ on a sturdy, level surface away from the edge of
the counter and other moving equipment. Make sure the power
cord is clear of hot surfaces and other hazards.
3. Verify that the power switch is in the OFF position. Plug
the power cord into the rear of the unit and an approved,
grounded outlet.
4. Turn power switch ON. If there is a smooth whirring sound
and the unit accelerates with little or no vibration, Sprout™ is
ready to use. If there are loud or unusual sounds, or excessive
vibration, DO NOT OPERATE. Contact Heathrow Scientific ® LLC
Technical Support.
5. On benchtop prepare samples tubes in foam microtube rack
provided so that tubes are filled to equal levels. Close tube lids.
6. To open lid, firmly tilt lid toward rear of unit.
Warning!
Spin balanced loads only!
Do not place the tubes asymmetrically nor load unequal
volume tubes. Improper placement of tubes will lead to
insufficient centrifugation and may cause injury or accident.
7. Tubes of equal weight and size should be placed opposite each
other. Use sample or water in tube to provide balance. Proper
sample balancing illustrated below.
