3.4 TUBE CENTRIFUGATION
With the tube holders and tubes in place, lock the lid by firmly pressing down on
the lid tab. Start the spin cycle by pressing the RUN button. The centrifuge will
not operate unless the lid is closed and properly locked.
During the period of time when the motor is accelerating, a test number is
displayed on the LCD. This number is a count of the completed spin cycles.
Within seconds the centrifuge
will reach the proper operating speed and the rpm
will be displayed on the LCD during the cycle. The LCD will display a
countdown of time for the remainder of the spin cycle, and the device will stop
automatically after 180 seconds.
An audible tone will indicate that the spin cycle is complete, the automatic lid
lock will disengage and the lid will open.
3.5 READING A TUBE
A. Move the slider to the far left side of the reader tray.
ONLY ONE TUBE AT A TIME SHOULD BE REMOVED FROM THE
ROTOR FOR READING. THE REMAINING TUBES SHOULD BE READ
IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING THE READING OF THE FIRST TUBE.
ONCE A TUBE HAS BEEN REMOVED FROM THE ROTOR, IT SHOULD
BE READ WITHIN ONE MINUTE.
B. Remove a tube from the rotor and place it in the groove in the reader tray.
Make sure the sealant end of the tube is to the far left, against the end of
the groove. Rotate the tube in the groove so that the full slanted interfaces
of the MILK / CREAM and CREAM / AIR can easily be seen. The
interfaces can slant either direction as shown below - whichever provides
the best vantage point. Once the tube has been properly positioned,
make sure you do not move the tube
during the reading process.
