Trained user
Fill centrifuge tubes outside the centrifuge.
The maximum capacity of the centrifuge tubes specified by the manu-
facturer must not be exceeded.
With angle rotors, the centrifuge tubes must only be filled to the
extent that no liquid can be ejected from the tubes during the centrifu-
gation run.
It must be ensured that there is a uniform fill level in the tubes in
order to keep the weight differences in the centrifuge tubes as low as
possible.
