General Information - This manual is intended for use with the Z100-A (C0100-A) Centrifuge. Description The Z100-A is a small bench top centrifuge designed for sedimentation of various samples. The Z100-A has a built in angle rotor capable of running up to to 4,000 rpm (1,900 x g.) This product is for research only.
Required space The centrifuge should be installed on a rigid, even surface. The Z100-A should only be operated on a stable laboratory table/bench etc. To guarantee sufficient ventilation, please ensure that the centrifuge has at least 15 cm free space on all sides, including the rear.
Centrifuge Installation 1. Make certain that the timer is set for the "off" position. Before operating the centrifuge, check that the power source corresponds to that on the manufacturer's rating label, then connect the power cord to a properly grounded outlet ATTENTION: Ensure that the timer is in the "OFF"...
Proper loading of the rotor The rotor has been designed to handle samples with a maximum density of 1.2g/ml. Tubes should not be run with any substance having a density above 1.2g/ml. When loading the rotor you should proceed according to sketch A. Fill the tubes equally by eye and insert them into the tube shields of the rotor.
Service and Maintenance Service of centrifuge Ther is no routine maintenance or service required on the centrifuge other than occasional cleaning. General cleaning of the centrifuge Always keep the centrifuge housing, rotor, and rotor accessories clean by wiping down with a damp cloth. Do not use harsh cleaners or detergants on the lid or housing surfaces as it may affect the plastic.
Check fuse and replace if necessary (see 5.5). Should you have any questions about the centrifuge and its accessories, or require service, please contact the Labnet International Service Department at 1-888 522- 6381. Please have the unit’s serial number (located on the back panel of the instru- ment) available when calling.
Chart for determining g-values See section 1.3 for the correct radius of your rotor. Note the use of tube adapters will change this radius.. To determine the relative centrifugal force (RCF - value). This value is the multiplier to the gravitational pull of the earth (g)
