NEUATION TECHNOLOGIES iFUGE 192610VET Benchtop Centrifuge
INTRODUCTION
This Micro Centrifuge offers versatility, simplicity, safety, and ease of
usage in a single package. This product has been designed after studying
centrifuges and its usage in numerous scenarios of the lab environment.
This Micro centrifuge is specially suitable for microfiltration, cell
separations, centrifugal tube sedimentation, and spin down applications.
Please read this manual thoroughly before operating the centrifuge.
INTENDED USE
This is used in various laboratories to separate particles from suspension or
even macromolecules from solutions according to their density. The different
biological substances that are usually separated by centrifugation are
microbial cells, organelles, proteins, DNA, and RNA.
Note: This user guide is intended to assist with the operation and care
of the unit only ond not for its repair. The custamer should nat attempt ta
service or repair the unit. ff repairs are required, please contact the
supplier.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
-
The personal micro centrifuge is designed to be safe under the following conditions when operated with necessary precautions mentioned below :
-
Indoor use only.
-
Ambient temperature of 4°Cto45°C.
-
Main supply voltage fluctuations not to exceed +/- 10% of the nominal voltage.
Position at least 20 cm from walls, 20 cm from ceiling and 20 cm between other products. -
Make sure the rotor is placed in the shaft groove properly. If the rotor is not installed properly, the machine will make noise, turn off the machine & install the rotor as instructed for fitment of the rotor.
-
Always load the rotor symmetrically. Each tube should be counterbalanced by another tube.
-
Make sure to always use only specified micro centrifuge tubes made from plastic and designed to withstand centrifugal forces of at least 2000 g.
-
Do not operate the centrifuge without the rotor being properly attached to the shaft. Re-check by trying to pull it up manually, especially after the rotor has been changed or re-assembled.
-
Do not move the centrifuge while it’s under operation.
-
Do not fill the tubes while they are in the rotor. Liquid spillage may harm the unit.
-
Do not put hands in the rotor chamber unless the rotor has completely stopped.
-
Do not centrifuge flammable, explosive or corrosive materials.
-
Do not use solvents or flammable media near this or other electrical equipment.
-
In case the unit is dropped from the table, please check the casing for any cracks/damage.
The centrifuge and its components are non auto cleavable. -
Do not use the centrifuge in any manner not specified in these instructions.
-
Use mild soap solution to clean & disinfect. Do not using sanitizer / !PA solutions.
INSTALLATION
This micro centrifuge
is supplied in a packaging box. Open the box, then gently remove the
centrifuge from the box and plug in the power adaptor pin before connecting to
the main power source. The instruction manual and the accessories should be
kept with the centrifuge. Please keep all packaging in safe storage for at
least 2 years for warranty purposes.
Make sure the rotor is tight to avoid any accident. Load the rotor with the
micro tubes for centrifugation. Place the ON/OFF switch to “o” on back side
and close the lid to start centrifugation.
For more clarification refer to the RCF chart below:-
ROTOR BALANCING
- Always balance the rotor before centrifugation. The following are symmetrical loadings of centrifuge tu bes to the rotor.
- Ensure that the samples in the tubes are of equal volume.
- Symmetrical loading of tubes in the rotor is necessary, otherwise vibration can occur which can cause serious damage to the centrifuge.
- The following are the incorrect methods of loading tubes in the centrifuge the rotor.
- The following are the incorrect methods of loading tubes in the centrifuge the rotor.
INTERCHANGEABLE ROTOR
CHANGING THE ROTOR
This centrifuge feature magnetic rotors. Thus changing the rotors can be done without any tool. The rotors fit on the central shaft of the motor through magnet situated at the both the rotors (MCT & PCR rotor). The rotor fits through snap to the central shafts through gentle guidance into the groove on the rotor adapter .
OPERATION
To operate the micro centrifuge, the below steps should be followed:
- Connect the power adaptor & Switch ‘On’ from the back side.
- Load the rotor symmetrically to avoid accidents and damage to the centrifuge.
- Close the lid & flip ON the backside switch to start centrifugation.
- Rotate* speed knob to set the speed between 1000-6000 RPM ( Display in two digit [x 100] for conversion )
Rotate time knob to set time from 1 to 25 & infinite min.
After the roter has stopped, press the lid release button and open the lid
with your thumb in front and fingers an the top – simply lift the lid back an
the hinge.
If you want to stop the centrifuge quickly, push the lid release button and
the rotor will stop within a few seconds.
In the following pages the routine centrifuge operation procedures are
explained in briet.
*Note: Ta increase rotate knob clockwise ( CW ) & Ta reduce rotate knob
counter clockwise (CCW)
