    Chapter 1 USE AND FUNCTION USE AND FUNCTION Chapter 1 DESCRIPTION The Jouan MR23i is a high speed centrifuge (23 000 rpm) desi- gned to separate substances by elevated centrifugal acceleration. It is equally suited to precise, low speed operation. Different rotors can be fitted to the drive in order to match the sam- ple containers and the required performance.

    Chapter 2 INSTALLATION PROCEDURE INSTALLATION Chapter 2 PROCEDURE LIFTING AND Due to the weight of the machine, all lifting and transporting must TRANSPORT be carried out using proper handling equipment (eg: fork lift trolley) that complies with current regulations, and by people having under- gone the necessary training.
  • Page 10: Mains Supply

    Chapter 2 INSTALLATION PROCEDURE MAINS SUPPLY The Jouan MR23i requires a single phase supply: 11174729 220/240 V 50 Hz + earth 11174730 120 V 60 Hz 11 A + earth 11174731 230 V 60 Hz + earth Maximum power requirement : 1300 VA (average: 1000 VA). The centrifuge should be connected to a 3 wire earthed outlet.
  • Page 11 Chapter 2 INSTALLATION PROCEDURE During rotation, the slightest leak from a sample is enough to create an aerosol. Rotation of the rotor can only be detected when the machine is switched on. Opening the lid manually if the rotor is still rotating, would disperse the aerosol in the environment.
  • Page 12: Inspection

    Chapter 2 INSTALLATION PROCEDURE INSPECTION Before installation, the rotor should be thoroughly inspected for cor- rosion and cleanliness. Chemical and stress corrosion will eventually lead to disruption of the rotor with potential severe damage to the centrifuge. Particles stuck inside the pockets can cause breakage of tubes and lead to major imbalance and / or loss of sample and contamination.
  • Page 13: Rotor Removal

    Chapter 2 INSTALLATION PROCEDURE It is not necessary to orientate the rotor relative to the drive shaft in order to achieve locking. The AUTOLOCK rotor mounting system allows rotors to be placed in any orientation. YOU ARE STRONGLY ADVISED TO USE SEALED LIDS ON ROTORS IN ORDER TO BE PROTECTED AGAINST THE BIOLO- GICAL HAZARDS RESULTING FROM BROKEN OR LEAKING TUBES AND BOTTLES.

  • Page 20 Chapter 3 SPECIFICATIONS • If the chamber was more than 10°C, but temperature setting at 4°C and speed at 13 000 rpm, chamber temperature will never decrease. When running at ultimate conditions (13 000 rpm and temperature below 8°C) cycling speed variations can be observed of about ±200 rpm which does not affect the efficiency of centrifugation.
  • Page 21: Chapter 4 Operating Principales

    Chapter 4 OPERATING PRINCIPALES OPERATING Chapter 4 PRINCIPALES DRIVE SYSTEM The rotor is driven by a three phase asynchronous motor. The rotor is situated in the centre of a virtually hermetically sealed and armour plated centifugation chamber. A control system ensures the correct drive speed.
  • Page 22: Refrigeration System

    Chapter 4 OPERATING PRINCIPALES The imbalance condition is displayed with the message “IMBA- LANCE”. The display shows the actual speed and a TIME OUT delay. The operator cannot open the lid until the rotor has stopped spinning and he has pressed the ENTER key. When the motor stops, opening and correctly loading the rotor allows the unit to be restarted.

A given rotation speed corre- sponds to centrifugal acceleration which is directly proportional to the centrifugation radius, in keeping with the following equation: Number of „g“ 1.118 Acceleration Centrifugation Speed in thou- radius (mm) sands of rpm For example, a given separation may be described as obtainable...
  • Page 24 Chapter 4 OPERATING PRINCIPALES The integral of the curve is the value of its area. The area repre- INTEGRAL OF THE CURVE sents the total amount of separating force applied to the sample. Under the previous conditions, calculation of this integral is very simple.
  • Page 25 Chapter 4 OPERATING PRINCIPALES Integration control allows suppression of the effect of the various potential fluctuations. Indeed, rather than programming a given duration of centrifugation, it is possible to set the desired value of the integral for a given speed or centrifugal acceleration level (R.C.F.).

Note In either case, the new values are held in a buffer memory (identified END PROG or NEW by - -) where they remain until the next time APPLI is used.
  • Page 33 Chapter 5 INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE The flashing arrowhead indicates T (For an explanation of Chapter 4: “OPERATING PRINCIPALES” Section “REFRIGE- RATION SYSTEM”). Use the keypad to input a value and then (if required) the +/- key to change the mathematical sign of the value. Alternatively, the user has the choice of directly selecting one of the most popular operating temperatures (4, 20 or 37°C) and/or using +/- to introduce a negative value.

    Chapter 6 HAZARDS, PRECAUTIONS AND LIMITATIONS OF USE HAZARDS, Chapter 6 PRECAUTIONS AND LIMITATIONS OF USE CAUTIONS • Never try to bypass the lid lock safety while the rotor is spin- ning. • Do not try to open the lid until display returns to the stand-by mode shown when machine is switched on.
  • Page 38 Chapter 6 HAZARDS, PRECAUTIONS AND LIMITATIONS OF USE Chemical Corrosion This corrosion is characterised by chemical reactions due to the existence of an electrolyte liquid on the surface of the item. If these substances are allowed to remain on the surface the corrosion will almost certainly occur.
  • Page 39 Chapter 6 HAZARDS, PRECAUTIONS AND LIMITATIONS OF USE Stress Corrosion This term relates to the phenomenom of accelerated corrosion due to the effect of centrifugation when a corrosive chemical is in con- tact with the alloy. From the time when the aluminium alloy has been attacked by chemicals, stress corrosion begins to appear.
  • Page 40 Chapter 6 HAZARDS, PRECAUTIONS AND LIMITATIONS OF USE Once the rotor is clean, rinse it in running water, preferably distilled. Dry the rotor with a soft absorbant non-woven cloth or tissue. Drying may be finished off with warm air jet (e.g. a hair dryer). MAKE CERTAIN THAT THE POCKETS ARE WELL DRIED.
  • Page 41 Chapter 6 HAZARDS, PRECAUTIONS AND LIMITATIONS OF USE ANY PART WHICH HAS BEEN SUBJECTED TO TEMPERA- TURES ABOVE 130°C MUST BE DISCARDED. Hypochlorite “bleach” used at 0.1% concentration with 10 minutes immersion is effective against bacteria, spores and viruses but, as an oxidising agent, is corrosive to metal alloys and must be thorou- ghly rinsed off and dried.
  • Page 42 Chapter 6 HAZARDS, PRECAUTIONS AND LIMITATIONS OF USE Thermo Fisher Scientific is able to supply cans of Anti Corrosion Spray, catalogue N° 11175399, whose propellant drives out water-based moisture and leaves a protective lanolin film on the surface. It is strongly recommended that rotors not in use should be stored STORAGE OF ROTORS upside down on a non-metallic grid or other support which allows free movement of air.

  • Page 53 Chapter 6 HAZARDS, PRECAUTIONS AND LIMITATIONS OF USE • A ventilated centrifuge (without built-in refrigeration) perma- nently exhausts into the room air which has passed through its bowl while a refrigerated (or thermostated) centrifuge contains a relatively sealed bowl. Thus the risks from the spread of aero- sols are minimised in a refrigerated centrifuge and significant in a ventilated centrifuge.
