Operations
Zonal and Continuous Flow Operation
Zonal and Continuous Flow operations are very similar. The specific details vary according to the
rotor you are using, but the summary below shows an outline of the procedure.
Figure 3.10 Zonal Page
There are seven phases to a Zonal or Continuous Flow run:
• Preparing
• Starting
• Loading
• Running
• Unloading
• Stopping
• Finishing
Each phase is outlined in a section below.

Preparing for the Run

The rotor manual details the preparations for a run, which may include cleaning, assembling, and
lubricating the rotor, setting up pumps and tubing, and usually includes overnight cooling to
precondition the rotor, sample and solutions used in the run. When you are ready to install the
rotor, set the parameters for the run:
• Run Speed
• Run Time
• Temperature
• Load Speed
• Unload Speed
