Special Preparation Instructions for JS-24 Series Rotors

Place the rotor on the rotor stand (362785) when it is not in the centrifuge.
1
Load the filled containers into the buckets.
Complete loading by placing the correct floating spacers (if required) over the tubes.
2
Ensure that bucket O-rings are lightly but evenly coated with silicone vacuum grease.
Do not run a bucket without an O-ring, as the bucket will leak.
3
Be sure that metal threads in the bucket caps are clean and lightly but evenly lubricated with
Spinkote lubricant.
Put bucket caps on the buckets and screw them down manually.
4
Hook all buckets, loaded or empty, on to the rotor, and be sure that both hooks are on the crossbar.
All six buckets must be in the same size.
Do not intermix the smaller and larger buckets in a single run.
• If fewer than six tubes are being run they must be arranged symmetrically in the rotor.
• Opposing tubes must be filled to the same level with liquid of the same density.
