Inserting the centrifuge tubes
The rotor must be loaded symmetri-
cally. Failure to do so can cause rotor
imbalance, which may lead to noisy op-
eration, affect separation quality, or re-
sult in imbalance detection shut-down,
as well as introduce significant detrimen-
tal wear to the motor and drive system.
The rotor has to be loaded symmetrically. When
loading the rotor only partially, you have to ensure
that opposite bores always receive tubes of equal
weight (when centrifuging a single sample, place a
centrifuge tube e.g. filled with water).
After placing the tubes, install the rotor cover.
