Centrifugation with low capacity
Install the tubes axial symmetrically so that the buckets and their inserts are
loaded evenly.
It is not permissible to load angle rotors on only one axis.

6.2.2.4 Adapters
In order to ensure easy handling, even if vessels of various sizes are used, carrier
systems were developed.
Load the opposite adapters with the same number of vessels and with the same
weights in order to avoid imbalance.
If all of the compartments of a carrier are not used, the buckets must be loaded
evenly. Loading the edges of a bucket only is not permissible.

6.2.2.5 Tubes
Load the tubes outside of the centrifuge. Liquids in the buckets or multiple
carriers cause corrosion .
Fill the tubes carefully and arrange them according to their weight. Imbalances
result in the excessive wear of the bearings.
In high-speed angle rotors, the vessels must be filled up to their useful volume
(= the volume stated for the vessel). If the vessels are only partially filled, they
will deform. This may result in leaks at the seals that may become loose.
When using glass tubes, the maximum value of 4,000 x g must not be exceeded
(except special high-strength glass tubes; please refer to the information
provided by the manufacturer).
Follow the safety instructions and hazard warnings (see chapter 3 - "Safety")!
