DG Spin Operating Procedure

6 OPERATING PROCEDURE
CAUTION!
Do not use the
DG Spin centrifuge if it does not
work correctly or has been damaged.
6.1 Execution of a centrifugation batch
To correctly use the DG Spin centrifuge the following instructions should be
followed:
• Activate the Main switch (Ref. (6), Figure 2) and verify that the Display
(Ref. (5), Figure 1) is switched on and shows the predefined
centrifugation time.
• Open the Cover by pressing
and remove the DG Spin Head by
pulling up vertically until it is released from the Lean axle.
• Place the
DG Spin Head on a flat surface.
• Place
DG Gel cards in the Card holders (Ref. (2), Figure 4) of the DG
Spin
Head to be centrifuged.
CAUTION!
The number of
DG Gel cards in the DG Spin
Head should always be an even number and
distributed symmetrically in such a way that the
motor load is balanced. For example, place half
of the cards to be centrifuged starting from
position 1 of the Head and the other half starting
from position 13.
CAUTION!
During the cards processing, samples and
reagents should not be directly dispensed into
the Card holders.
