Using Buckets
You can load buckets before or after they are installed on the rotor yoke. In either case, we
recommend filling the appropriate labware first and then loading the labware into the buckets to
avoid tripping the imbalance detector.
NOTE
When using stacked polypropylene microplates, place a support pad (369382) beneath the bottom
plate and place a cap strip between plates to prevent breakage during centrifugation. Use the support
pad beneath all polystyrene plates.

Insert the filled labware into the adapter or carrier. (See page 11 for labware information.
2
Load the filled adapters or carriers into the buckets.

Attach each bucket to the yoke by aligning the grooves in the bucket sides with the pivot pins,
then sliding the buckets down until the pivot pins are seated in the bucket pockets.

Gently swing the buckets to ensure that they are properly seated on the pivot pins.
