Introduction
The Universal Centrifuge from LW Scientific is the perfect solution for both laboratories and doctors’ offices. This newest member of our USA centrifuge initiative features a ZERO-RPM locking lid for safety and digital programming of time ranging from 1-99 minutes and speed ranging from 500-3400rpm. Achieve up to 1550g with the fixed-angle rotor or 1809g with the swing-out rotor, resulting in clean, easy to read lines of separation. The LWS Universal centrifuge has a DC motor and comes with a 110-220v auto-switching power supply.
Maximum test-tube size for the 8-place fixed-angle rotor is 122mm tall and 17.5mm wide if spinning 8 tubes (full load), and 131mm tall and 17.5mm wide if spinning 4 tubes (every other position).
Maximum test-tube size for the 6-place swing-out rotor is 131mm tall and 17.5mm wide if spinning 6 tubes.

Warranty
LW Scientific instruments have a one (1) year limited warranty. This warranty is not valid on normal wear and tear, cosmetic damages caused by chemicals, solvents, and/or cleaning solutions, as well as acts of God.
Please register your product online at: www.lwscientific.com/warranty_form.
Important: Warranty information must be completed within 30 days of purchase.
Installation & Setup
1LW Scientific packs each Universal centrifuge with utmost care. All units undergo a QC check prior to shipping from LW Scientific headquarters in Lawrenceville, GA to ensure proper operation. Examine the outer and inner containers for any visible damage, and retain the packing material. If there is visible damage, please contact the shipper or your distributor, as our warranty does not cover shipping damage.
2Remove the centrifuge from the shipping container and inspect for possible shipping damage. DO NOT
OPERATE THE CENTRIFUGE AT THIS POINT.
3Please read and complete the warranty form online at LWScientific.com/warranty_form. The warranty form documents your purchase. Failure to fill out the warranty form may void any warranty claims on the unit.
4Place the centrifuge on a sturdy, level surface. Plug the power cord into the appropriate power outlet.
5Turn the power on with the on/off switch on the back of the unit. The power light and digital display should light up. DO NOT OPERATE THE CENTRIFUGE AT THIS POINT.
6The latch of the Universal will remain locked while at rest and while spinning. To open the lid while at rest, push the Stop/Open button, then turn the latch counter-clockwise as far as possible and lift the lid within
seven seconds. If power fails, the lid can be manually opened by inserting the Manual Lid Release Tool (or a small screwdriver) in the release hole on top of the lid towards the front of the unit. DO NOT OPEN WITH
MANUAL LID RELEASE TOOL WHILE UNIT IS RUNNING.
7Inspect the rotor chamber. Install all the tube shields in the rotor. Make sure that no loose debris is in the bowl. Make sure that the rotor screw is tight using a #2 Phillips screwdriver. DO NOT OPERATE THE CENTRI-
FUGE AT THIS POINT.
Operation
1Do not insert test tubes at this time. Close the lid and turn the latch clockwise until it stops. The latch of the Universal must remain in the locked position (maximum clockwise rotation) while spinning. Set the speed to “10” (1,000rpm) and the time to “5” minutes using the up and down buttons on the front label.
2Start the unit by pressing the RUN button. The unit should come up to speed with a smooth sound and little or no vibration. If there is excessive vibration or noise, shut off the unit immediately, check the troubleshooting tips, and contact LW Scientific if not resolved.
3Once the unit completes the cycle, open the lid by turning the latch counter-clockwise as far as possible and lift the lid. The lid is designed to only open after the speed has reached zero RPM.
