1.0 Introduction
The Labnet Prism™ microcentrifuge is a small benchtop centrifuge designed for separation of various research samples. The motor is
brushless and requires no routine maintenance. This microcentrifuge is supplied with a 24 x 1.5/2.0 mL rotor for microsample tubes.
Adapters are available for tubes smaller than 1.5 mL. This reaches speeds of up to 15,000 rpm/21,200 x g.
2.0 Safety Information
Before using the Labnet Prism microcentrifuge for the first time, please read this entire manual carefully. If the equipment is used in a
manner not specified by the manufacturer, the protection provided by the equipment may be impaired.
This symbol indicates a potential risk and alerts you to proceed with caution.
2.1 Operation Safety Precautions
Never use the centrifuge in any manner not specified in these instructions.
Never operate the centrifuge without a rotor properly attached to the shaft.
Always use a wrench to tighten the rotor nut. Never tighten rotor nut by hand only.
Never fill tubes while they are in the rotor. Liquid spillage may harm unit.
Never put hands in the rotor area unless the rotor is completely stopped.
Never move the centrifuge while the rotor is spinning.
Never use solvents or flammables near this or other electrical equipment.
Never centrifuge flammable, explosive, or corrosive materials.
Never centrifuge hazardous materials outside of a hood or a proper containment facility.
Always load the rotor symmetrically. Each tube should be counter-balanced by another tube of the same type and weight.
Always locate the centrifuge within easy access to an electrical outlet.
Always use only microcentrifuge tubes made from plastic and designed to withstand centrifugal forces of at least 21,200 x g.
Always use a wrench to tighten the rotor nut.
Do not operate the centrifuge if any of the following conditions exist:
The centrifuge has not been installed properly.
The centrifuge is partially dismantled.
Service has been attempted by unauthorized or unqualified personnel.
The rotor has not been installed securely on the motor shaft.
Rotors and accessories outside of the standard range are not to be used without permission from the manufacturer.
Exception: Microcentrifuge tubes made of plastic, normally available in the laboratory.
The centrifuge is located in an explosive atmosphere.
Materials to be centrifuged are combustible and/or explosive.
Materials to be centrifuged are chemically reactive.
The rotor load is not properly balanced.
The rotor nut was not tightened with a wrench.
