Make sure to prepare necessary safety measures before using samples that are toxic, radioactive or
contaminated with pathogenic micro-organisms at your own responsibility.
If the instrument, rotor and/or accessories that has been contaminated by solutions with toxic, radioactive
or pathogenic materials, clean it according to the decontamination procedure that you are specified.
If you require services at site, please sterilize and decontaminate it in advance, and then notice the service
center involved in the details of the particular materials.
Do not handle the power cord or turn on or off the POWER switch with wet hands to void electrical
shocks.
For safety purposes, do not enter within 30cm around this centrifuge while it is in operation.
While the rotor is rotating, never forcedly release the door lock.
Unauthorized repairs, disassembly, and other services to the centrifuge except by our service center are
strictly prohibited.
CAUTION
This centrifuge must be located on one firm and level table.
Make sure the centrifuge is horizontal before running.
Make sure the angle between the door and cover is greater than 70 degrees when open the door.
Be careful not put your fingers or hands between the door and cover when the door off.
Do not move or relocate this centrifuge while it is running.
If fluid spills in the rotor chamber, please promptly clean and dry with a dry cloth to avoid sample
contamination.
Ensure to remove any objects and fragments of the tubes dropped inside the rotor chamber before running
this centrifuge.
Cautions on rotors
(1) Always check for corrosion and damages on the rotor surface before using it. Do not use the rotor if an
abnormality is found.
(2) Do not set the centrifuge speed beyond the allowable minimum speed of the rotor kits (rotor or adapters).
Make sure to run it below the allowable minimum speed.
(3) Do not exceed the allowable imbalance.
(4) Use the rotor and tubes within their actual capacities.
(5) If the rotor is attached with a lid, ensure it is tightened before operation.
If any abnormal condition occurs during operation, please stop it immediately and contact our service
center. Notify the service center is a warning code if displayed.
Vibrations are likely to damage the centrifuge, contact our service center if abnormality observed.

secured position, and then close the door.
（2）The centrifuge gets into preparation mode and displays last running values. The values can be reset.
（3）Press key and hold, the centrifuge will speed up to the setting speed. While releasing
key during acceleration, the centrifuge will start to decelerate and stop.
9. Maintenance
9.1 Cleaning
CAUTION
If do not follow the recommended instructions for cleaning or disinfecting may damage the centrifuge.
（1）Centrifuge
If the centrifuge is exposed to ultraviolet rays for a long time, the color of the doors may be changed or
the label may be came off. After using, cover the centrifuge with a piece of cloth to protect it from
direct exposure.
Note：The key works only when the rotor stopped and the door is locked.
USER MANUAL
If the centrifuge needs cleaning, clean it with a cloth or sponge moistened with a neutral detergent
solution.
Sterilize the centrifuge by wiping with a cloth moistened with 70% ethanol solution.
（2） Rotor chamber
If the rotor chamber needs cleaning, clean with cloth or sponge moistened with a neutral detergent
solution. Sterilize the centrifuge by wiping with a cloth moistened with 70% ethanol solution.
（3）Drive shaft
We recommend regular maintenance for drive shaft. You can wipe the drive shaft with soft cloth, and
then apply a thin coat of silicon grease.
（4）Door
Clean and sterilize the door using the same method as the step (1) above.
（5）Rotor
To prevent corrosion, remove the rotor from rotor chamber. If not in use for a lone term, then detach
the rotor lid and turn upside down to dry the tube holes and keep clean.
For sample leaks in the rotor, rinse the rotor with water. Apply a thin coat of silicon grease to the rotor
when it is completely dry.
The rotor should be regular maintenance, recommend to cleaning it each 3 months to ensure tube and
rotor holes keep clean, and then apply a thin coat of silicon grease.
(6) Drain (D1536R)
The centrifuge is equipped with drain pipe for excess water. Drain off water when water is in drain
pipe.

it contact enough with the slot bottom and bond firmly.
（3）Place for 20 minutes and waiting for the glue to completely solidified.
9.4 Routine inspection
(1) Check that if the centrifuge is on a firm、flat and level table, ensure the four feet stand on the table
firmly.
(2) Check if the centrifuge grounded properly: Use multi-meter to check if is short circuit between the
power cord grounding pin and the motor shaft. If yes, indicating grounded properly; if is open circuit, need
to check failure reason first and make troubleshooting before use.

* ：15mlV means 15ml conical tube, as well as 5mlV and 50mlV.
Table 11.1 Rotors and adapters
11.1.3 Notice
(1) The centrifuge rotor can separate sample which density lower than 2.0g/ml, if the samples density is
over 2.0g/ml, please calculate allowable speed depending on the following formula.
Allow Speed (rpm)= Maximum speed×(2.0(g/ml)/Sample density (g/ml))
1/2
（2）To prevent corrosion, remove the rotor from rotor chamber if do not use for a long time, then detach the
rotor lid and upside the rotor down to dry the tube holes.

（3）If some samples leaked in the rotor hole, wash the hole with water, apply a thin coat of silicon grease
on the rotor surface after drying.
（4）It is necessary for a regular maintenance for rotor, recommend to clean it each 3 months to keep
cleaning of tube hole and shaft hole, and then apply a thin coat of silicon grease on it.
11.1.4 Autoclaving
All rotors are manufactured in high-strength aluminum alloy material or stainless still and can be autoclaved:
121℃ (1.0kg/cm2), 20 minutes.
But some adapters are made of plastics, these adapters can be deformed after autoclaving, so you‟d better
use other disinfecting methods.
11.1.5 Bio-safe seal ring
The rotor is sealed by bio-safe structures, achieved using three high-temperature rubber seal rings. The seal
rings may fall off or aging after several autoclaving, need to be replaced or re-installed. The replacement
methods please refer to the section 9.3.

11.2.2 Cleaning PC tubes
PC materials are low in chemical resistance against alkaline solutions. Avoid using neutral detergents with
pH higher than 9. Note that pH of some neutral detergents are still higher than 9 even if diluted according to
the instruction in the maker‟s catalog. Use detergent with its pH between 7 and 9.
11.2.3 Autoclaving PA、PC and PP tubes
PA begins softening at about 120℃, PC and PP at about 130℃. Autoclave PA tubes at 115℃（ 0.7kg/cm2）for
30 minutes and PC and PP tubes at 121℃（0.1kg/cm2）for 20 minutes. If a certain temperature is exceeded,
the tubes may be deformed.
When using a sterilizing chamber, please operate as follows:
（1） Place tubes in vertical position, mouths upward. If tubes are placed sideways, they may deform
into an oval shape due to gravity.
（2） Remove screw nuts and inner covers to prevent from deformation or rupture.
（3） Wait until the sterilizing chamber cools down to the room temperature before the tubes are
removed.
11.2.4 Condition and life expectancy of tubes
The life expectancy of plastic tubes depends on the characteristics of samples, speed of the rotor used, and
temperature applied, and so on. When the plastic tubes are used for centrifuge of ordinary aqueous samples
(pH between 5 and 9), their life expectancies are defined as follows.
Be operated at the maximum speed:
High quality tubes (PA、PC、PP): 30-50 operations
Ordinary tubes(PA、PC、PP): around 10 operations（Using in low speed can extend the tube life）.
Life expectancy of tubes also depends on the pretreatment conditions such as cleaning and sterilization,
lifetime can be cut down.
Notice: Do not use damaged or cracked tubes.
12. Calculate Relative Centrifuge Force(RCF)
Relative Centrifuge Force (RCF) can be determined with the following calculation formula.
RCF=1.118×r×n2×10-5
R—rotating radius, unit: cm; n—rotating speed, unit: rpm
