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. 75003607 TX-750 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. Figure 4. Handling of AutoLock Thermo Scientific 75003607 TX-750...

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...
There are two options available for centrifuging samples whose weight (including adaptor) exceeds the maximum permissible load: • Reduce the fill level. Reduce the speed. Use the table or the formula: n max Maximum permissible load n adm --------------------------------------------------------------------- - Effective load = admissible speed = maximum speed Thermo Scientific 75003607 TX-750...

This releases the carbonic acid gas which is bound in the water, resulting in excess pressure. Do not apply pressure to the lid when doing so! Leaks can be detected by escaping water or the sound of escaping gas. 75003607 TX-750 Thermo Scientific...

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. Thermo Scientific 75003607 TX-750...
• Store the aluminum 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. 75003607 TX-750 Thermo Scientific...
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. Observe the safety precautions and handling instructions for the cleaning agents used. Thermo Scientific 75003607 TX-750...
For general radioactive decontamination, use a solution of equal parts of 70 % ethanol, 10 % SDS and water. Disinfect the rotor and accessories as follows: 1. Open the centrifuge. 2. Turn off the centrifuge. 75003607 TX-750 Thermo Scientific...
Place the rotor on a flat surface. Note No chemical additives are permitted in the steam. CAUTION Never exceed the permitted temperature and duration when autoclaving. If the rotor shows signs of corrosion or wear, it must be replaced. Thermo Scientific 75003607 TX-750...

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. 75003607 TX-750 Thermo Scientific...
