4. If available close the rotor with the rotor lid.
Check the according rotor manual for further details on requirements and methods of closure.
CAUTION Be sure to check all sealings before starting any aerosol-tight applications.
See the information in the rotor instruction manual.

The VWR Mega Star 600 / 600R offers you 2 profiles: standard and soft. The setting is displayed above
the ACCELERATION / DECELERATION key.
Press the ACCELERATION / DECELERATION key to cycle through and set the available profiles.

Pre-Selecting Speed / RCF
RPM stands for Revolutions Per Minute.
RCF stands for Relative Centrifugal Force and allows better transfer of protocols between centrifuges and
rotors of differing size.
Ensure that the rpm or RCF is correctly set.
1. Press the TOGGLE key below the SPEED display to cycle through the rpm / RCF selection.
The LED light will indicate if "RPM" or "RCF" is selected.
RPM / RCF can be viewed during a run by pressing the toggle button.
2. Enter the desired value by holding the arrow keys below SPEED in the corresponding direction, until
the desired value shows. First RPM / RCF will change in steps of 10. Holding a key pressed will
change the runtime then in steps of 100 and then in steps of 1000.
Press the START key to accept or wait 4 seconds until the centrifuge automatically saves the
chosen values. Moving to setting time or temperature also automatically stores the set value.
NOTICE The minimum motor speed is 300 rpm. Any extremely low RCF settings will be automatically
increased to the minimum RCF at 300 rpm.
