2.5 Loading samples for angle rotors
Rotors must be loaded symmetrically and with equal weight. The adapter may only be
loaded with the compatible containers. The weight differences between the filled
vessels should be kept as low as possible. Therefore, we recommend weighing them
with a balance.
2.6 Loading samples for swing out rotors
Swing out rotors should only be used if all positions are occupied with buckets and
racks, and the diagonally opposing pair must be buckets and racks of the same size
and type. Do not mix different types of buckets and racks diagonally! It is allowed to
operate e.g., a 4-place-rotor with 2 loaded buckets only but the loaded buckets must be
opposite to each other. Make sure that the unloaded racks also be put inside the
buckets. The bolts on the rotor must be greased with the "High TEF oil". The sample
tubes have to be filled evenly by eye and put into the tube racks.
2.7 Cleaning
⚫ Keep the chamber and motor of the centrifuge clean, if necessary, wipe with a
clean, grease-free piece of cloth.
⚫ If any spill happens during use, clean out the liquid immediately to avoid possible
corrosion.
⚫ Periodically, wash and inspect the rotors to maintain good rotor condition.
⚫ For cooled models, turn off the centrifuge and keep the lid open to allow moisture
to dissipate when finished for the day.
