Centrifuges can be potentially dangerous. Therefore it is vital that they are properly maintained and used correctly.

• Always run with a full compliment of buckets. Failure to do so can distort rotor.
• Ensure the rotor and all lids are tightened correctly before use.
• Only use accessories intended for use in your particular centrifuge, as recommended by your centrifuge supplier.
• Balance accessories and samples to within less than 2 gms per bucket.
• Samples should be diametrically distributed evenly around the buckets as shown.
• Clean and lubricate rotor pins monthly.
• High strength aluminium corrodes easily, to prevent this, remove adaptors and keep buckets clean and dry at all times.
• Only clean aluminium buckets in a neutral ph cleaner. Do not use strong alkalis, acids or chloros.
• Condensation build up in a centrifuge bowl will damage the motor and buckets.
• Allow condensation to evaporate by leaving the lid open at night with power switched off.
