Balancing Loads; Calculating The G-Force - Drucker Diagnostics HORIZON SERIE Manual Del Operador

ALANCING OADS
Your centrifuge must contain a balanced load to work properly. Spinning balanced loads will extend the life of the
centrifuge and produce better results. Use the following rules when loading the rotor.
is to be spun, fill a tube with water to match the weight of the unpaired sample and place it across from this sample.
Opposing tube holders must be equally loaded or empty or loaded with equally weighted samples.

ALCULATING THE
The I.F.U.s of tube manufacturers recommend cycles at a minimum G-Force, which can be calculated if you know
the RPM and the radius. Use the formula below or go to www.druckerdiagnostics.com/g-force-calculator/.
In Centimeters:
RCF or G-force = 0.00001118 x
Rotor Radius (cm) x (RPM)
When loading only 3 tubes, they must be of equal weight.
