3.5 Overloading the rotor The maximum load of the rotor and the maximum speed have been established by the manufacturer. Do not attempt to exceed these values. The maximum speed of the rotor has been measured for liquids having a homogeneous density of 1.2g/ml or less. In order to centrifuge liquids with a higher density it is necessary to reduce the speed.
