Operation Check that the rotor is firmly seated. The centrifuge tubes must be distributed symmetrically across all rotor locations. The weight of the permissible filling capacity is indicated on each rotor. The weight must not be exceeded. No liquid must be allowed to enter the buckets and the centrifuging chamber when loading the buckets and swinging them out during the centrifugation run.
