Rotor Fitment and Details

CenturionScientific Limited
 Welcome
It is of p

read thisance you

to our Rotor Fitment, balancing,

care and safety manual
Centrifuges can be dangerous if rotors are not correctly fitted, samples
are not correctly loaded or poor samples tubes are used.
Rotor fitment is from Page 8-41. Please look up the rotor to be used to
go to the relevant pages. Read carefully and follow the instructions.

We recommend: Tubes can break or rupture causing

damage or sample failure. We know
● Quality tubes are used how much time & work it may take
● Y
 ou balance within to get to this point to be ruined by a
1 gram cheap tube. Although our imbalance
system is sophisticated and will shut
● Y
 ou balance the rotor down if exceeded. Centrifugation is
correctly. about seperation and good balancing
● Y
 ou always fit the lid gives better separations.
supplied Always place balanced tubes opposite
● W
 e recommend that to each other, as shown, in the pictures.
you check the rotor for Lids are used to prevent aerosol effects
cracks reguarly. and reduce air flow and therefore noise.

! If a crack is found. DO NOT USE.

Rotors are under a constant strain and need to be kept clean and checked for
strain.
DO NOT exceed the life of the rotor 7 years maximum.
For samples of an unknown nature we recommend you check before centrifugation
by using the Chemical Resistance Table, page 42 onward.
We do not recommmend the use of strong acids, strong Alkalis or strong
radioactive samples, these can damage the rotors and the Centrifuge.

This included rotor carries 12 tubes
but can operate with any balanced
load of fewer tubes and any
combination of sizes as long as these
are properly balanced.
This offers comlete flexibility for the

 Technical Support
Caring for your Centrifuge & Buckets
Always keep buckets & adapters clean and free from
! moisture at all times, this will help prevent corrosion.

Use only official Centurion Scientific accessories with

your product Always ensure samples are distributed in a
! diametric pattern to ensure the machine runs balanced.

Rotor pins should be kept clean and lubricated on a regular

! basis.

It is recommended that your centrifuge is switched off and

the lid left open overnight to ensure that any moisture build
! up can evaporate.

Always ensure that lids and accessories are correctly

! tightened before running the unit.

Ensure that all buckets are present in the rotor when

running your centrifuge, as using the unit with an
! unbalanced rotor can cause distortion and excessive wear.

Do not use any kind of scourers or abrasive material to

clean the buckets and ensure that a pH neutral cleaner is
! always used.

Aluminium buckets should be kept clean and moisture free

! to keep them in a good, safe operating condition.

It is recommended that regular maintenance and cleaning

! of the unit and accessories is carried out.

Nomograph for RCF Determination

Example
To find the relative centrifugal
force at a radial distance of 10
cm from the center of rotation
when operating the centrifuge
at a speed of 3000 r.p.m., place
a straightedge on the chart
connecting the 10cm point on the
Rotating Radius Scale (A) with the
3000 r.p.m. point on the Speed
Scale (B).
Read the point at which the
straightedge intersects the
Relative Centrifugal Force Scale
(C) – in this case, 1000 x gravity.
Similarly, if the desired “r.c.f.” is
known, the necessary speed for
a given rotating radius may be
determined by connecting the
two known points and reading the
intersection of the straightedge
with the Speed Scale.

Equation for Calculating R.C.F.

R.C.F. = .00001118 x r x N2
R.C.F. = relative centrifugal force (gravities)
r = radius from center of rotation to bottom of tube (cm)
N = rotating speed (rev. per minute)
