2. INTRODUCTION

2.1 INTENDED USE

Centrifuge Micro Star 30R is a universal laboratory refrigerating centrifuge. It is designed for use
in medical, scientific and industrial laboratories, for separating the substances with different
specific densities, by centrifugal force. In particular, it is intended for preparation of human
samples (body fluids), in approved test tubes, before further analysis. Not intended for in vitro
diagnostic use. The maximum rotational speed of 18,000 RPM gives the centrifugal force of
31,150 xg.

2.3 UNPACKING

The weight of the centrifuge is 50 kg. To prevent possible injuries, at least two people
should lift and carry the centrifuge by holding it at the bottom from opposite sides.
Open the carton box. Take out the accessories and remove the packaging material. Reach with
your hands under the centrifuge and lift it from the box together with another person.
When lifting the centrifuge, never hold it by the front or top plastic part of the
housing or by the lid, as the appliance may get damaged!
Retain the packaging material for any subsequent transport or storage, which are allowed only in
the original packaging.
