USER MANUAL 7. Rotor Preparation 7.1 Prepare the samples 7.2 Inject the samples into tubes ʽCAUTION ● Do not overload samples into the centrifuge which will cause leaking. ●Do not exceed the actual capacity allowed in the user manual. 7.3 Keep the tubes balance ●Although the centrifuge can accept sample balancing by eye, we recommend that you keep this centrifuge in a wellbalanced condition to extend its life expectancy.
D2012 High Speed Mini Micro-Centrifuge 8. Operation ʽCAUTION ● Do not push or lean against the centrifuge while it is running. ● Do not run the centrifuge when fragments or sample solutions are left in the centrifuge chamber. Always keep the centrifugal chamber clean. ● If the centrifuge makes strange noise during operation, stop it immediately and contact our service center. Notify them of the warning code if displayed. 8.
USER MANUAL Fastener Locking nut Rotor lid Load the rotor to the shaft Symmetrically load centrifuge tubes to rotor Load the rotor lid Figure 8-2 The rotor installation ● Load the rotor to the shaft to ensure rotor is in position until it connected well with the shaft. ● Rotate the rotor slightly with your fingers to check. if the rotor vibrates, if so attach the rotor again. ● Hold on the rotor with one hand, tighten clockwise the nut with the other hand and make sure tighten firmly.
D2012 High Speed Mini Micro-Centrifuge (2) Set the time ● Press button Select , time value flashes in the time setting mode. ● Rotate the program button to set running time from 30 seconds to 99 minutes. ● When the time displays HD, this is a continuous running mode. 8.1.3 Start the operation (1) Press button START to start running STOP ●Timer will operate once the speed setting value is reached, the screen displays the remaining run time.
USER MANUAL 8.3 Pulse operation This function is used to remove the residual samples adhered to the interior of the tubes or for quick spins. Note:The button works only while the rotor stopped and the door is locked. (1) Turn on the power switch and load the rotor to the shaft, tighten the rotor lid and make sure it is in secured position, and then close the door. (2) The centrifuge gets into preparation mode and displays last running values. The values can be reset.
D2012 High Speed Mini Micro-Centrifuge 10. Troubleshooting 10.1 Possible problems and solutions This centrifuge has a self-diagnostic function. If a problem occurs, an error/warning code will be displayed on the time display screen and the operator can determine the malfunction with the warning code below. Symptom Causes •Building power circuit breaker trips. Nothing appears on the screen when the •The fuse was blown out. power is turned on.
USER MANUAL 11. Instructions for the Rotor and Tubes ʽCAUTION ● Read the user manual thoroughly to properly load and use rotor. ● Do not exceed the allowable maximum speed of rotor atube and adapters etc.. Ensure the allowable maximum speed of adapters is lower than the rotor’s maximum speed. 11.1 Rotor instructions 11.1.1 Rotor structure Locking nut Fastener Rotor lid Rotor block Shaft Tube holes Figure11-1 The rotor structure 11.1.
D2012 High Speed Mini Micro-Centrifuge 11.1.3 Notice The centrifuge rotor can separate samples which density lower than 2.0 g/ml. If the separated samples density is over 2.0 g/ml, please calculate allowable speed depending on the following formula. Allow Speed (rpm) = Maximum speed × (2.0 (g/ml) /Sample density (g/ml) )1/2 11.1.4 Autoclaving The rotor is manufactured in high-strength aluminum alloy material and can be autoclaved: 121ć(1.0kg/cm2)20 minutes.
USER MANUAL 11.2.3 Autoclaving PAǃPC and PP tubes PA begins softening at about 120ć, PC and PP at about 130ć. Autoclave PA tubes at 115ć˄0.7kg/cm2˅for 30 minutes, PC and PP tubes at 121ć˄0.1kg/cm2˅for 20 minutes. If a certain temperature is exceeded, the tubes may be deformed. When use a sterilizing chamber, please operate as follows: Place tubes in vertical position, mouths upward. If tubes are placed sideways, they may deform into an oval shapedue to gravity.
