10.1 Maximum speed for tubes
Some tubes, such as centrifuge glass tubes, microtubes, culture tubes,
fluoropolymer tubes and especially high-volume tubes can be used in our rotors,
buckets, and adapters at higher speeds than their breaking limit.
• Always fill the tubes up to their useful volume (= the volume that is stated for
the tube).
• When using glass tubes, the maximum value of 4,000 x g must not be
exceeded (except special high-strengh glass tubes; please refer to the
information provided by the manufacturer).
10.2 Graphical Representation of the Rotors
The graphical representation of the rotors shows the maximum and minimum
radii of the accessories used. If necessary, the values must be manually
calculated (see 11.1.1 “RCF”, page 56).
