Table 11.1 List of rotors and adaptors
* : The tolerance is applied to tube pairs placed symmetrically in the rotor.
**: The volume tolerance is a rough estimate. There is no strict match to mass tolerance.
11.1.3. Precautions
(1) The density of sample that the centrifuge rotor can separate is less than 2.0g/ml. If the density of sample
to be separated exceeds 2.0g/ml, please calculate the allowed rotation speed using the following formula:
Allowed rotation speed (rpm) = maximum rotation speed × (2.0 (g/ml) /sample density (g/ml))
1/2
(2) If the rotor is left unused for long time, please remove the rotor from the centrifugal chamber, remove
the rotor lid and place the rotor upside down to dry the rotor hole and prevent corrosion.
(3) If any sample leaks into the rotor hole, flush the rotor hole with clean water and apply a thin layer of
silicone grease on the rotor surface after it dries up.
(4) It is suggested that the rotor to be cleaned once in every three months to ensure cleanliness of the tube
hole and main shaft hole before applying a thin layer of silicone grease.
