    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. 75003607 TX-750 Thermo Scientific...
  • Page 37: Improper Loading

    There are two options available for centrifuging samples whose weight (including adaptor) exceeds the maximum permissible load: • Reduce the fill level. Reduce the speed.
