Page 10: Rotor Preparation
Check the rotor for corrosion or scratches before using. CAUTION • If any abnormality such as corrosion or scratches are found, stop using the rotor and contact Globe Scientific. • Only Globe Scientific rotors may be used with the centrifuge. -
Page 11: Operation
• Do not run the centrifuge when fragments or sample solutions are left in the centrifuge chamber. Always keep the centrifugal chamber clean. • If the centrifuge makes a strange noise during operation, stop it immediately and contact Globe Scientific. Please include any warning code(s), if displayed. - Page 12 8. Operation (Cont.) LOADING AND REPLACING THE ROTOR Rotor lid Locking nut Knob Load the rotor to the shaft Symmetrically load centrifuge tubes to rotor Load the rotor lid CAUTION • Attach the rotor to the rotor shaft. Ensure the rotor is properly positioned and connected with the shaft, tightening the locking nut to secure the rotor with shaft, to prevent the rotor damaging the centrifuge.
- Page 13 8. Operation (Cont.) START THE OPERATION Press the Select button to select the desired parameters. The parameters can be modified when the value is flashing. Rotate the Adjustment Knob clockwise to increase parameter value. Rotate the Adjustment Knob counter clockwise to decrease parameter value.

9. Maintenance 9.1 Cleaning CAUTION • Failure to follow the recommended instructions for cleaning and disinfecting may result in damage to the centrifuge. 1. Centrifuge • If the centrifuge is exposed to ultraviolet rays for a long period of time, the lid may discolor or the label may be peel off. It is recommended to cover the centrifuge with a piece of cloth to protect it from direct exposure or to move it from direct exposure. -
