Zonal and Continuous Flow Operation

Running the Sample

The instrument highlights Running on the Status Display, accelerates to the set run speed, and
begins counting down the set run time. The run phase ends in one of three ways:
• When the timer countdown reaches zero, the instrument decelerates to the unloading speed
and goes to the Unloading phase.
• If you select the
unloading speed and goes to the Unloading phase.
• If you select the
the unloading phase, and exits Zonal or Continuous Flow mode entirely.

Unloading the Sample

While the rotor is running at unload speed, follow the instructions in the rotor manual to inject the
displacement solution into the rotor and collect the resulting centrifugate sample.

Stopping the Run

When you have completed all the defined unloading steps, press the
to a halt.

Finishing the Run

When the rotor comes to a halt, unmount it and perform all the cleanup and follow-up steps given
in the rotor manual. The instrument exits Zonal or Continuous Flow mode when the rotor comes to
a stop.
