Operation
1. Remove the contents from the package, examining them carefully for breakage, defects,
or missing parts. Save the packaging.
2. Place the mySPIN 6 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.
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.
3. Verify that the power switch is in the OFF position. Plug the power adapter cord into the
rear of the unit and the power cord into an approved outlet.
4. Turn power switch ON. If there is a smooth whirring sound and the unit accelerates
with little or no vibration, mySPIN 6 is ready to use. If there are loud or unusual sounds,
or excessive vibration, DO NOT OPERATE. Contact Thermo Fisher Scientific Technical
Support.
5. On benchtop prepare samples tubes in rack so that tubes are filled to equal levels. Close
tube lids.
6. To open lid, firmly tilt lid toward rear of unit.
WARNING
The laboratory procedure should ensure that no person or hazardous substances are present
within a 12" (30 cm) zone around the centrifuge when operating.
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.
8. Do not force tubes into the rotor. Use adapters and correctly sized rotors for your
application.
