Securing the Centrifuge to the Floor

Allegra X-12 series centrifuges are certified to meet the requirements of the European CE mark. To
meet these requirements, the centrifuge must be secured to the bench using the anchoring kit
shipped with the instrument. This will prevent the centrifuge from moving in the unlikely event of
a rotor mishap.
Complete instructions for installing the anchoring kit are packaged with the hardware, which is
shipped with the centrifuge. The instructions (publication GX-TB-002) include a full-size template
to be used as a guide for drilling holes in the bench. Refer to this document for installation
instructions.
