NOTICE
Damage to the device due to highly corrosive substances.
Highly corrosive substances may impair the mechanical
strength of rotors, buckets and accessories.
−
Do not centrifuge highly corrosive substances.
Standard glass centrifuge tubes can be loaded up to RCF
4000 (DIN 58970 part 2).

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.

1. Check that the rotor is firmly seated.
2. 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.
For containers with rubber inserts, there must always be the same
number of rubber inserts under the centrifuge tubes.
All rotor locations must be filled with the same buckets. Certain
buckets are marked with the number of the rotor location. The
buckets must only be inserted in the corresponding rotor location.
Buckets marked with a set number (for example S001/4) must only
be used in the set.
