This will reduce any chance of condensation taking place in side the centrifuge. 3.3 Connection to the power supply Supply voltage has to be consistent with that given on the rating plate. MSE centrifuges come with a 2-metre long IEC lead fitted with plugs resistant to the dynamic loadings. -
Page 13: Safe Working Conditions
4. SAFE WORKING CONDITIONS 4.1 General information about your centrifuge The centrifuge has a rigid self-supporting structure. The case is made of Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) plastic, the front and back is made of aluminium sheet. The rear of the lid is fixed in place by steel hinges and the front of the lid is locked with an electromagnetic lock, which stops the possibility of opening during centrifugation. -
Page 14: Hazards And Precautions
15. Do not use highly corrosive substances, which could cause material impairment and lower the mechanical properties of rotor. 16. Do not use plastic rotors and accessories that have not been recommend by MSE Centrifuges Ltd. 17. Only commercial plastic test tubes should be used. -
Page 15: Maximum Load
4.7 Maximum load In order to avoid overloading of the rotor the operator shall observe the maximum permitted load, which is specified on every rotor. Maximum permissible load is reached when all test- tubes are filled with the fluid with 1.2 g/cm density. -
Page 16: The Control Panel
3. Using the PULSE button to centrifuge for a short period of time. 4. Program up to 9 different operations. 3 different acceleration rates () to choose from. 3 different de-acceleration rates () to choose from. 5.2.1 The control panel The control panel and display is a completely sealed unit that shows key data in a digital format and allows the user to adjust speed, time, acceleration and braking rates. - Page 17 The LID key is used to open the lid of the centrifuge once it has come to a complete standstill. The LID key can only be used when the display reads “S .” This key cannot be used whilst the rotor is in motion.

When the centrifuge is first switched on, the digital display shows the model name and our web address for three seconds before reverting to the main display. Figure 1.3 MSE Centrifuges www.msecentrifuges.com The main display shows information about the centrifuge cycle. An example is shown below in Figure 1.4. -
Page 19: Switching The Centrifuge On
Users can switch between displaying the speed and RCF during the run by pressing the SPEED RCF key twice (see Figure 1.5) Figure 1.5 RC:14573 T = 99m00s 1 S The “=” sign indicates that the parameter can be changed. Note: The operator cannot change the parameters once the centrifuge is in motion. -
Page 20: Maintenance
During above mentioned works you must always wear safety gloves. MSE appointed engineers or workshop personnel should not touch the centrifuge unless it has been de-contaminated and a certificate is signed by some one in authority to that effect. -
