Prism™ Microcentrifuge Instruction Manual Catalog Numbers: C2500, C2500-230V This manual is available in additional languages at www.labnetlink.com.
1.0 Introduction The Prism™ is a small benchtop centrifuge designed for separation of various research samples. The motor is brushless and requires no routine maintenance. The Prism Microcentrifuge is supplied with a 24 x 1.5/2.0 mL rotor for micro sample tubes. Adapters are available for tubes smaller than 1.5 mL. The Prism reaches speeds of up to 15,000 rpm/21,200 x g.
Before operating the centrifuge, check that the power source (electrical outlet on the wall) corresponds to that on the manufacturer’s rating label, then connect the power cord to the centrifuge and the power source. LABNET PRISM MICROCENTRIFUGE...
6.0 Installation of Rotors and Rotor Maintenance 6.1 Rotors and Accessories The following accessories are included or available for the Prism™ Microcentrifuge: Angle rotor for 24 x 1.5 ml tubes (included) Cat. No. 24D-RTR Tube Measurement 1.5 mL / 2.0 mL (10 x 40 mm)
6.3 Removing and Installing the Angle Rotor The Prism™ Microcentrifuge comes complete with a standard 24-place rotor installed. To remove the rotor for cleaning, remove the rotor securing screw from the motor shaft by turning the screw counterclockwise, using the rotor wrench.
7.2 Closing the Lid Close the centrifuge lid. The Prism™ Microcentrifuge has a lid lock that activates only when a run is started. 7.3 Lid Release The lid will remain locked during a centrifuge run. Once the run has been completed and the rotor has come to a stop, a beep will indicate the end of a run, and the lid will unlock automatically.
8.0 Service and Maintenance 8.1 Centrifuge Service The brushless motor in the Prism™ Microcentrifuge requires no routine maintenance. Any required service should be performed by authorized, qualified personnel only. Repairs performed by unauthorized personnel may void the warranty.
Call service Should you have a question about the operation of the Labnet Prism™ Microcentrifuge or if service is required, contact Customer Service. Do not send in a unit for service without first calling to obtain a repair authorization number. Should the unit require return for service, it should be properly packed to avoid damage.
10.0 Determination of G-values The centrifuging radius of the 1.5/2.0 mL rotor is 8.23 cm. The Prism™ Microcentrifuge has an automatic g-force conversion program, so g-values are automatically calculated and can be displayed on the control panel, for this centrifuging radius. If adapters or smaller tubes are used, the centrifuging radius changes as does the g force.
