Precautions for large-capacity high-speed desktop centrifuge
When using a large-capacity high-speed desktop centrifuge, you need to follow some precautions to ensure that the centrifuge operates safely and stably and to avoid damage to the device itself and the sample. Here are some precautions for using a large-capacity high-speed desktop centrifuge:
1. Pre-operation inspection: Before using the centrifuge, be sure to check whether the equipment is normal, such as whether the power cord is damaged and whether the switch is turned on.
2. Centrifuge tube operation: When using a centrifuge, you should strictly follow the material and capacity of the centrifuge tube. Centrifuge tubes of different materials have different requirements for the centrifuge rotor, and you should follow the centrifuge manual for operation.
3. Centrifugal speed setting: When setting the centrifuge speed, it should be adjusted according to the characteristics of the sample and the experimental requirements. Too high a speed may cause the sample to break or be damaged, while too low a speed may make it impossible to separate the sample.
4. Run time control: According to the experimental requirements and sample characteristics, the run time of the centrifuge should be set reasonably. Too long or too short a run time may cause sample damage or inaccurate experimental results.
5. Rotor installation: When installing the rotor, make sure that the rotor is fully matched with the centrifuge shaft and install the rotor on the centrifuge in the correct order. Improper rotor installation may cause the equipment to not operate properly or cause damage to the sample.
6. Avoid overloading: Large-capacity high-speed desktop centrifuges usually have large capacity and speed, so overloading should be avoided when in use. Overloading may cause the centrifuge overload protection to start, affecting the normal operation of the equipment.
7. Maintenance: Regular maintenance of the centrifuge, such as cleaning the inside of the equipment and replacing wearing parts, can extend the service life of the equipment and improve the accuracy of experimental results.
In short, when using a large-capacity, high-speed desktop centrifuge, be sure to follow the operating manual and precautions, and use and maintain the equipment correctly to ensure the smooth progress of the experiment and the long-term stable operation of the equipment.
