Maintenance / Cleaning - VWR Mini Centrifuge Manuel De L'opérateur

VWR Mini Centrifuge — Operator's Manual
For proper operation, samples must always be loaded into the rotors in a balanced fashion.
The tubes should be filled to the same level, lids closed and placed opposite each other in
the rotor. Tubes and strips must always be loaded symmetrically.
Rotor Installation and Replacement
The VWR Mini Centrifuge features snap on rotors that can be installed and removed
without an Allen wrench. There are no set screws to tighten or loosen.
1. Make sure the VWR Mini Centrifuge's On/Off switch is in the "Off " position.
2. Line triangular opening on the rotor with the rotor shaft and press down until the
rotor snaps in place. Pull up on the rotor to remove.
3. Turn the unit back to the "On" position, load tubes per the operating instructions and
close the lid to begin centrifugation.
