Preparation and Use
Specific information about the SW 32 Ti and SW 32.1 Ti rotors is given here. Information common to these
and other rotors is contained in Rotors and Tubes for Preparative Ultracentrifuges (publication LR-IM),
which should be used together with this manual for complete rotor and accessory operation. Publication
LR-IM is included in the literature package with this rotor manual.
NOTE
Although rotor components and accessories made by other manufacturers may fit in the SW 32 Ti and
SW 32.1 Ti rotors, their safety in these rotors cannot be ascertained by Beckman Coulter. Use of other
manufacturers' components or accessories in these rotors may void the rotor warranty and should be
prohibited by your laboratory safety officer. Only the components and accessories listed in this
publication should be used in these rotors.
