will be displayed. It shows the amount of cycles left
before the rotor should stop being used (rotor and
buckets). This value will decrease by 1 each time the
rotor is being used.
You can still use the centrifuge, but only as long as
the value is higher than 0. Anticipate the purchase of
a new set of rotor + buckets in the near future.
Once the rotor has reached the end of its theoretical

7.1.7 Checking and testing accessories
CAUTION
!
Check that no trace of corrosion appears. Check also the absence of any
mechanical damage (traces of impact, corrosion, cracking), or wear on the
rotor and bucket.
In order to ensure optimal performances, once the accessories have reached half of their theoretical life time, we
recommend inspecting them. This life time is different from one accessory to the other, and the value is engraved on
the accessory (i.e.: Max cycles: 55,000 means that the accessory has a theoretical life time of 55,000 cycles)
For safety reasons, the use of accessories that have reached the end of their life cycle is prohibited. These
components must be replaced.
7.1.8 Storage of accessories
Do not store the accessories on a wire rack. Oxidation build-up may appear and show premature wear of accessories
7.1.9 Annual maintenance
A periodic check of the centrifuge and accessories is required. Checks must also be carried out in accordance with the
regulations in force: Functional (lubrication of the drive shaft, the lock, readability of labels), security (continuity of
the protective ground connection, checking & maintenance of rotors and accessories) and centrifuge performance
checks are recommended at least once a year.
Replacement of consumables (grease, provided)
Check that the grounding of the device is always properly secured by its power cable and the wall outlet it is
connected to. The operator is not authorized to access the internal part of the equipment. A NuAire authorized
technician will ensure maintenance.

1.0 Theoretical Basics of Centrifugation
1.1 Basics
Relative Centrifugal Force
In customary practices and usages of centrifugation, the quantization unit of angular velocity (denoted N), is the revolution
per minute (abbreviated rpm, RPM, r / min, or r • min-1). This is a measure of frequency of rotation. It corresponds to the
number of full rotations completed in one minute around a fixed axis.
The derived frequency unit for SI units is Hertz, with the symbol Hz. Its expression in terms of SI is s-1.
Laboratory centrifuges are used to separate solids of different densities in suspension, applying the relative centrifugal
force (RCF for short) on samples. The effective force increases with the square of the rotational speed and distance from
the axis of rotation. This force, known as "g-force" is quantified as the number of "g" applied to the sample. No SI units are
provided.
The following formula is used to convert the angular speed to "g-force"
RCF Relative Centrifugal Force, "g"
N: angular velocity, revolutions per minute
r: radius of the circular path of the sample, mm
g: acceleration of standard gravity, 9806 65 meters per second per second (ms-²)
The relative centrifugal force depends on the speed and the rotation radius.
An approximation, denoted F, is used in practice to calculate the value of the relative centrifugal force:
Speed, based on the relative centrifugal force is calculated by the following formula:
Integral spin
It is the accumulated relative centrifugal force acting on the centrifuged object at the corresponding time.
It is outlined by the colored surface of the chart below.

1.2 Nomogram
Radius (mm)
RCF (Number of grams)
RPM (r/min)
The nomogram graphically connects by a line segment a speed to the relative centrifugal force (RCF) as a function of the
radius of rotation selected.
In the example above, the speed of 2500 rpm corresponds to a relative centrifugal force of 550 g for a radius of rotation
of 79 mm
