Weigh the bottles opposite in order to avoid an imbalance. Refer to the rotor loading chapter. CAUTION The bottle 75003699 is a wearing product. Bottle with signs of wear are no longer to be used. Replace the bottles. Damaged bottles can cause damage to the rotor and centrifuge. Thermo Scientific 75003667 BIOLiner...
WARNING If the rotor cannot be properly locked in place after several attempts, then the ™ AutoLock is defective and you are not permitted to operate the rotor. Check for any damage to the rotor, damaged rotors must not be used. Keep the hub area clear of objects. 75003667 BIOLiner Thermo Scientific...
CAUTION Rotors supplied with a lid for aerosol-tight applications come with a ™ mandril, which belongs to the AutoLock . Be sure not to place the lid onto this mandril to prevent it from being damaged. Thermo Scientific 75003667 BIOLiner...

To ensure safe operation of the centrifuge, the rotor must be evenly loaded at all times. You can use two rectangular buckets or two round buckets or two microplate carriers. Make sure that the opposing receptacles are holding tubes of the same weight. 75003667 BIOLiner Thermo Scientific...
WARNING Replace the rotor when the specified number of cycles is reached. Due to the mechanical load a rotor can break and thus damage the centrifuge. Replace the buckets when the specified number of cycles is reached. Thermo Scientific 75003667 BIOLiner...

The careful inspection of the seals and seal surfaces for signs of wear and damage such as cracks, scratches and embrittlement is extremely important! Aerosol-tight applications are not possible if the vessel tops are open. Aerosol-tightness requires the correct operation when filling the sample vessels and closing the rotor lid. 75003667 BIOLiner Thermo Scientific...

Figure 5-5. Bucket with closed lid CAUTION If the latch is not flipped down, the caps could be damaged during centrifuging. If the latch has not clicked into place, the bucket is not aerosol-tight. Never raise the bucket at its latch. 75003667 BIOLiner Thermo Scientific...
• Store the aluminium parts at room temperature or in a cold-storage room with the cavities pointing down. CAUTION Before using any cleaning or decontamination methods except those recommended by the manufacturer, users should check with the manufacturer that the proposed method will not damage the equipment. 75003667 BIOLiner Thermo Scientific...

Performance unknown; suggest testing, using sample to avoid loss of valuable material. Chemical resistance data is included only as a guide to product use. Because no organized chemical resistance data exists for materials under the stress of centrifugation, when in doubt we recommend pretesting sample lots. 75003667 BIOLiner Thermo Scientific...
