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.
samples 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.
Buckets can be placed around the rotor in any of the rotor loading configurations shown.

With proper care and maintenance, your centrifuge will provide years of laboratory service. For proper care, the
following steps should be taken:
o
Always Spin Balanced Loads: Make certain that you are always spinning a balanced load, as shown in the
previous section. These centrifuges have a unique counter balanced motor mounting design which produces
excellent vibration dampening. However, out–of–balance loads may break glass test tubes and may produce
unsatisfactory separation results. Proper load balancing will improve sample separation and extend the life of
the centrifuge.
o
Motor and Electrical Maintenance: The highest quality electrical components have been selected for the
centrifuges and should not need maintenance or servicing for the life of the centrifuge.
o
Tube Holder Replacement: It is recommended that the tube holders be replaced after 24 months of use.
Inspect tube holders regularly for cracks. If cracks are discovered, replace immediately.
Remove Accessories Before Moving: All tube holders, samples, and caps must be removed from the rotor
o
chamber before transporting or storing the centrifuge to prevent damage and injury.

All buckets in rotor must be from the same manufacturing lot.
Each bucket must be loaded symmetrically with tubes as above.
