Considerations For Centrifuges

Apr 25, 2024 Leave a message

1. In order to ensure safety and centrifugation effect, the instrument must be placed on a solid and horizontal table, and no items shall be placed on the engineering plastic cover door; The sample must be placed symmetrically and make sure the nut is tightened before turning it on.


2. Before use, check whether the rotor has scars, corrosion and other phenomena, and at the same time check the centrifugal cup for cracks and aging, and stop using it immediately if there is any doubt, and contact the factory; Be sure to tighten the hold-down nut of the rotor before starting the machine to avoid accidents caused by the high-speed rotating rotor flying out.


3. The speed setting shall not exceed the maximum speed to ensure the safe operation of the machine.


4. If 0.00 or other numbers appear in use, the machine is not running, it should be turned off and powered off, and the machine should be restarted after 10 seconds.

5. If the specific gravity of the separated sample exceeds 1.2 g/cm3, the maximum speed N must be corrected as follows: N=NMAX*(1.2/sample specific gravity) 1/2, NMAX=rotor limit speed.


6. Do not open the cover door during the operation of the machine or when the rotor is not stopped, so as to avoid accidents.


7. The centrifuge cup must be filled with the same amount of sample, and the rotor must not be run in an unbalanced state.


8. It is best not to run the centrifuge for more than 60 minutes at a time.


9. The centrifuge must be reliably grounded; The machine is not in use, please unplug it.
