Original Instructions Rev.1.0 User Manual – Isa 5/ 42
General Information
Description
The ISA Centrifuge is a laboratory benchtop serie of centrifuges that maximizes productivity while minimizing laboratory
required bench space. The centrifuge functionality allows the separation of substances of different densities held in
suspension or emulsion in a liquid using centrifugal force.
The ISA Centrifuge is available in two models, one ventilated and the other refrigerated.
The ISA Centrifuge ventilated model has a unique ventilation system to maximize performance within laboratory ambient
temperature conditions.
The ISA Centrifuge refrigerated model adds precise temperature control to further maximize performance.
The refrigeration system refrigerant used is CFC-free to meet regulations of refrigerant use.
ISA Ventilated Centrifuge
ISA Refrigerated Centrifuge
Intended use
The centrifuge is designed and manufactured for use with rotating accessories supplied by AFI Centrifuge. It is suitable for
separating substances of different densities held in suspension, or emulsion in a liquid.
The maximum density of substances should be 1.2 g/cm
3
.
The centrifuge must be used in an optimal state of operation and maintenance. The non-observance of the rule of use may
threaten the health of users or third persons, but it may also cause damages to the unit and/or surrounding equipment.
Users of the equipment must be trained on good centrifugation practices, as well specific usage of the ISA Centrifuge
models and Accessories. Any use outside the framework defined above is considered non-compliant.
AFI Centrifuge assumes no responsibility for injury due to improper use.
Prohibitions:
This centrifuge is not designed for the following uses and environments.
The following items are prohibited:
Flammable, explosive, toxic and radioactive materials
Materials which may react, causing a hazard
Contaminated materials not contained in an aerosol-barrier container
Rotating rotors and accessories that have exceeded their maximum use.
Rotating rotors and accessories that are not maintained according to the instructions in this manual,
or showing signs of wear and/or corrosion.

Explosive environments
Radioactive environments
Only operate a centrifuge after taking all necessary safety measures.
Rotors and buckets should be removed from use in case of mechanical fault, trace, or
corrosion. These elements have a life cycle duration, engraved on their visible part:
To maintain safe conditions, it is imperative to replace them when the recommended duration is reached.
