5.2.4 Installation of Accessories
• Only use vessels that are suitable for the rotor (see chapter
10 "Suitable
Accessories", page
54).
• Load all of the compartments of the swing-out rotors.
• Always load the opposite compartments of the rotors with the same
accessories and filling to avoid imbalance.
• Centrifugation with low capacity
: For the
example, a swing-out rotor
(16 x 15 ml) that is to be equipped with
eight tubes only was used. The tubes
must be installed symmetrically so that the
buckets and their suspensions are loaded
evenly
Centrifugation with different tube sizes:
Working with different tube sizes is
possible. In this case, however, it is very
important that opposite inserts are
identical. The example shows a swing-out
rotor with buckets and 2 x the insert 100
ml and 2 x the insert 4 x 15 ml with the
corresponding glass or plastic tubes.
Another example is the angle rotor 24 x 2.2 ml: The tubes must be installed
symmetrically so that the rotor is loaded evenly.
