CAUTION means that material damage could occur. WARNING means that injuries or material damage or contamination could occur. This symbol refers to biological hazards. Observe the information contained in the instruction manual to keep yourself and your environment safe. 75003603 BIOShield 1000A Thermo Scientific...
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. 75003603 BIOShield 1000A Thermo Scientific...
2. Grab the rotor handle with both hands and press against the green AutoLock button. At the same time, pull the rotor directly upwards with both hands and remove it from the centrifuge spindle. Make sure not to jam the rotor while doing this. Thermo Scientific 75003603 BIOShield 1000A...
Always be sure to use buckets of the same weight class, which is marked on the buckets themselves. Proper Loading To ensure safe operation of the centrifuge, the rotor must be evenly loaded at all times 75003603 BIOShield 1000A Thermo Scientific...
• Reduce the fill level. • Reduce the speed. Use the table or the formula: Actual Load (g/bucket) 6300 6170 6048 5933 5824 5721 5623 5530 5442 5357 5277 5200 5126 5055 Thermo Scientific 75003603 BIOShield 1000A...
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 Service life examples Usage profile Maximum service life at 30,000 cycles frequent use 7 years 20 runs / day 220 days / year 75003603 BIOShield 1000A Thermo Scientific...
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 lids are open. Aerosol-tightness requires the correct operation when filling the sample vessels and closing the rotor lid. 75003603 BIOShield 1000A Thermo Scientific...
