Safety Information
- NEVER use the centrifuge in any manner not specified in these instructions.
- NEVER operate the centrifuge without a rotor properly attached to the shaft.
- NEVER fill tubes while they are in the rotor. Liquid spillage may harm unit.
- NEVER put hands in the rotor area unless the rotor is completely stopped. NEVER move the centrifuge while the rotor is spinning.
- NEVER use solvents or flammables near this or other electrical equipment. NEVER centrifuge flammable, explosive or corrosive materials
- NEVER centrifuge hazardous materials outside of a hood or proper containment facility
- NEVER try to continue operating the centrifuge if the centrifuge stops working prematurely.
- Stop the centrifuge immediately by turning off the main power switch on the back side of the centrifuge. Wait one minute before turning on the main power switch to operate the centrifuge again.
- ALWAYS load the rotor symmetrically. Each tube should be counterbalanced by another tube. Weight of individual tubes may not exceed of 3.0g.
- ALWAYS locate the centrifuge within easy access to an electrical outlet.
- ALWAYS use only microcentrifuge tubes made from plastic and designed to withstand centrifugal forces of at least 7500 x g.
- If the centrifuge is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the protection provided by the centrifuge may be impaired.

Specifications
The EZEESPIN-D Mini Centrifuge is supplied with two rotors, one for microtubes and one for 0.2ml PCR strip tubes. The 8-place rotor is designed to centrifuge up to eight individual 1.5/2.0ml plastic microcentrifuge tubes. It will also accept 0.5ml and 0.4ml tubes with the adapters supplied with unit. Adapters are available separately for 0.2ml tubes. The strip tube rotor is designed to centrifuge four 8 x 0.2ml strip tubes. It will also accept up to 32 individual 0.2ml tubes. Both rotors are designed for applications requiring relatively low g-forces, such as microfiltration, cell separation and quick spin-downs from the walls of tubes.
Please read this manual thoroughly before attempting to operate the centrifuge.

POLLUTION DEGREE 2, states that: “Normally only non-conductive pollution
occurs.
Occasionally, however, a temporary conductivity caused by condensation must be
expected”.
Adjusting Speed and Time
a. Connect the power supply and switch on the unit. The last run
parameters will be displayed.
b. To adjust the speed, press ( ) button once, the display for speed will
start flashing. Press ( ) or ( ) button，to reach the desired speed
(2000-12000rpm). Please note that the displayed value is in “x1000rpm” (e.g.
10 means 10,000rpm). Press ( ) button again to adjust time. The time display
will start flashing, press（ ）or（ ）button to reach the required run time
(1-99min).
Starting and Stopping a Run
a. Make sure the cover is closed fully. Press ( ) button to start the
run. The unit will stop automatically when the set run time is reached.
b. During a run, you can change the speed any time. To interrupt and stop
the run at any time, press ( ) button.
Exchanging Rotors
The centrifuge is supplied with two interchangeable quick release rotors. No
tools are required to exchange the rotors or attach them to the motor shaft.
The rotors are easily exchanged and can be snapped into position by hand.
Ensure the rotor is locked into position by lifting the rotor to check before
use.
To remove the rotor, press the center of the rotor to release it from the spindle.
Care and Maintenance
Maintenance
The centrifuge should be cleaned periodically. Ensure that the unit is not
plugged in. Use a damp cloth and a mild, noncorrosive detergent (pH < 8). Do
not immerse the centrifuge in liquid or pour liquids over it. Excessive
amounts of liquid should be avoided. Liquid should not come into contact with
the motor. After cleaning, ensure all parts are dried thoroughly before
attempting to operate the unit.
Should a spill of infectious materials occur within the rotor or rotor
chamber, the unit should be disinfected. This should be performed by qualified
personnel with proper protective equipment.
Cleaning
Before using any cleaning or decontamination methods except those recommended
by the manufacturer, check with the manufacturer that the proposed method will
not damage the equipment. To clean the centrifuge, use a damp cloth and a
mild, noncorrosive detergent (pH <8). After cleaning, ensure all parts are
dried thoroughly before attempting to operate the unit. Do not immerse the
centrifuge in liquid or pour liquids over it.
Troubleshooting
| Error | Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Unit does not run | Power cable not connected | Check that the power cable |
is plugged into both the wall socket and the device.
Power supply| Check that there is power to the wall socket.
Lid not closed fully| Press down the lid until you hear a click
Power switch| Is the power switch at the ON position?
Excessive Noise or Vibration| Rotor is not loaded symmetrically| Stop
the unit and load the tubes symmetrically. Ensure that the tubes on the
opposite sides are equally filled.
