Loading Swing Out Rotors - Hermle Labnet Z306 Operating Manual

Figure 12: wrong

2.1.3 Loading swing out rotors

Loading of the buckets / vessels must be made in accordance to figure 15
It is allowed to operate e.g. a 4-place-rotor with 2 loaded buckets only. But the loaded buckets must
be opposite to each other. Make sure that the unloaded buckets also be put inside the rotor (see
figure 14 and 15).
In principle swing out rotors may not be taken in operation until all buckets or racks are put
into the rotor.
The bolts at the rotor must be greased with the HERMLE High EF oil (Order No. 34-5147). The
sample tubes have to be filled evenly by eye and put into the drillings or tube racks The weight
difference of the loaded buckets should not exceed approx. 1,0 g.
ATTENTION!
Swing out rotors may be taken in operation only if all locations are filled in with either four
buckets or four carriers – do not mix buckets and carriers up!!
Figure 14: wrong
ATTENTION!
Do not operate the centrifuge with rotors or buckets which show any signs of
corrosion or mechanical damage.
Do not operate with extremely corrosive substances, which could damage the rotor
and buckets.
In case of any questions, please contact the manufacturer!
