1. OPTIONAL: • Program Mode: to define and save a maximum of 99 The IEC Centra CL5 (ventilated model) can be placed in specific sets of run parameters, to recall and reuse a cold room (no colder than 4°C), for processing Timing Modes temperature-sensitive samples.
5. When the unit is in its new location, ensure that the WARNING WARNING suction cups adhere correctly to the work surface International Electrotechnical Commission standard 1010 part 2-20 limits the permitted movement of a laboratory centrifuge to 12” (300 mm) in the unlikely 3.

4.3 Derating Tables for Dense Samples The Speed and Force Tables list the maximum speed for each rotor/adapter combination for the IEC Centra CL5 Series cetrifuges. These speeds are specified for samples whose specific gravity is not greater than 1.2 for swinging bucket rotors.
Microplate Rotor The Microplate Rotor is designed for centrifugation of multi-well microplates. The weight of the loaded microplates must be equally distributed between the rotor’s two carriers. The maximum rated speed for the rotor when each of the carriers is loaded with 320 grams (total load of 640 grams) is 3650 rpm. CAUTION Loads greater than 320 grams (weight of the microplate and sample) must have maximum speed derated (according to the following table) to avoid rotor failure.
5.3 Storage: Keep the Unit Dry 5. Maintenance Store parts on a soft surface to avoid damage. Rotors and other parts should be clean and dry. Store them 5.1 Care and Cleaning open to the air, not in a plastic bag, so any residual •...
