  • Page 5: General Information

    3. General information LMC-56 is a modern benchtop, low-speed laboratory centrifuge designed for convenient sedi- mentation, centrifugation and collection of necessary samples. It provides operation with tubes, vacu- tainers, gel cards, microtest and ELISA plates. Our centrifuges are designed for safe work (metal pro- tective housing), easy maintenance and wide application range in medical, biochemical, chemical, in- dustrial and other type of laboratories.
  • Page 6 Caution! Since some plastic tubes and microtest plates can be damaged at higher speeds, maximum speed is limited for some rotors. LMC-56 detects the rotor automatically, see 5.13. If the unit will not be used, close the lid carefully and smoothly until a clicking sound is heard. Set the power switch on the side to position O (off).

    RUN/STOP ►/■ key for more than 2 seconds if any unusual noise occurs during acceleration, which can be due to improper rotor fixation. Figure 3. LMC-56 control panel. 5.2. Check the power cable for any signs of damage. Connect the power cable to a properly grounded mains socket.
  • Page 8 4200 3260 Note. LMC-56 detects the rotor and adjusts the speed automatically. See 5.13 for addi- tional information. 5.5.4. Rotation parameters (fig. 3/5). Rotor speed can be set in RPM and in RCF, denoted after numeric value by r and g, accordingly. Values convert after changing units. RCF depends on the installed rotor, as shown in Table 1.
  • Page 9 5.13. Automatic rotor detection for LMC-56. The centrifuge LMC-56 has automatic rotor detection. It detects currently inserted rotor in the beginning of rotation initiation and will automatically limit the RPM of various rotors mentioned in 5.5.3.
