To guarantee sufficient ventilation, ensure that the centrifuge has at least 30 cm of free space on all sides, including the rear. Repair should be carried out by Axygen Scientific' authorized service personnel only. Use original spare parts and accessories only.
General Description The AxySpin R refrigerated microcentrifuges is a compact, bench-top centrifuge which is suitable for both research and clinical laboratories. The motor is brushless and requires no routine maintenance. It is supplied with a 24 x 1.5/2.0 ml rotor for micro samples. The maximum speed of AxySpin R is 13,500 rpm (17,135 rcf).
Mains power and frequency “MUST” be compatible with the information given on the product label on the rear of the centrifuge. Connect the power cord to the power socket of the centrifuge, then to the power source. Switch the Power On/Off switch to turn on the centrifuge. After the LCD display is on and the buzzer beeps twice, the centrifuge is ready to operate.
Starting and Stopping a Run 3.5. Please refer Chapter 5 Operation to set up your preferred settings of time, speed and temperature. To start a run, press down the (START/STOP) knob. When the pre-set time expires, the centrifuge will stop automatically. To stop the centrifuge prior to the expiration of set time, press the (START/STOP) knob again.

TEMP button To adjust temperature setting LID button Open the lid QUICK button Quick-Spin centrifugation Audible Signals The audible signals are beneficial when you are familiarizing yourself with the operating procedure of AxySpin R refrigerated microcentrifuge. They can also be disabled if desired by pressing button six times.
Operation Users can pre-set the time, temperature and speed (RPM/RCF) before a run. Attention: Never attempt to operate the centrifuge with rotors or adapters that show signs of corrosion or mechanical damage. Never centrifuge strongly corrosive materials that may damage the rotors, accessories or bowl of the unit. Setting the Time (TIME) 5.1.
Cooling 5.5. The temperature can be set from -10 °C and + 40 °C. The set temperature can also be changed during the run. Pre-Cooling Pre-Cooling starts a temperature-control run at 6,000RPM. It allows the rotor to be cooled down to the new, pre-set temperature quickly. Cooling down from room temperature to 4 °C takes approximately 8 min.
Centrifuge Service 6.1. The brushless motor in the AxySpin R requires no routine maintenance. Any required service should be performed by authorized, qualified personnel only. Repairs performed by unauthorized personnel may void the warranty. Cleaning the Centrifuge 6.2. Always keep the centrifuge housing, rotor chamber, rotor and rotor accessories clean. All parts should be wiped down periodically with a soft cloth.
