4. Product introduction

4.1. Working principle

The centrifuge is a instrument which use the powerful centrifugal force which was generated by the high speed running of the rotor to accelerate the settlement of particles in solution, to make the samples of different subsidence coefficient and different density of the substance to be separated, concrete and pure.

When operate a centrifuge, loading equivalent volume solutions into each centrifuge tubes / bottles which you are going to centrifuge and load these centrifuge tubes / bottles into the positions of the rotor symmetrically (the centrifuge tube / bottle must be opposite each other to make sure the rotor can run at a balance state).

The relative centrifugal force (RCF) depends on rotational radius " r " and rotational speed (revolutions per minute) " n ", its computational formula as following:

RCF=1.118x10-5xn2xr(xg)

Among the formula:

n -- rotational speed (r/min)

r -- rotational radius (cm)

G -- gravitational acceleration (9.8 newton/kg)


The required centrifugal time T for particle separation sediment in the mixture solution was counted as the following computational formula:


BCBLR-309


Among the formula:

ρ -- mixed solution density (g/cm³)

μ -- mixed solution viscosity (P)

n -- rotational speed (r/min)

r -- rotor rotational radius (cm)

σ -- particle density (g/cm³)

Rmax -- the horizontal distance from bottom surface of centrifuge solution to

axis (cm)

Rmin -- the horizontal distance from solution surface to axis (cm)

Take out the rotors and accessaries from the centrifuge chamber (if any) after opened the lid.

5.3.2. Installation of rotor

1. Installation of the collet chuck

Install the collet chuck onto the motor shaft and use an Allen key to turn the screw of the collet chuck clockwise. When the gap of the collet chuck is gradually approaching the protrusion of the motor ring, it is necessary to ensure that the protrusion of the motor ring is aligned and inserted into the gap of the collet chuck. Continue to tighten the collet chuck screw until there is an axial displacement of about 1 mm between the collet chuck and the collet chuck screw. (please refer to the installation diagram of collet chuck Figure 7 below).


Figure 7, Installation diagram of collet chuck, 2. Installation of rotor, Choose the rotor you are going to run, then aim

Figure 7

Installation diagram of collet chuck

2. Installation of rotor

Choose the rotor you are going to run, then aim the collet chuck with the install

hole of the rotor/rotor cross and put the rotor/rotor cross down onto the collet chuck

vertically. Align the inner hole of the rotor/rotor cross with the collet chuck so that the

step surface inside the rotor/rotor cross is tightly attached to the end face of the collet

chuck. Use an Allen key to tighten the collet chuck screw clockwise, so that the outer

shaft surface of the collet chuck is tightly connected to the inner hole of the rotor.

Remove the key and complete the rotor installation. (please refer to the installation

diagram Figure 8 and Figure 9 below).

Tags:, Description:, Attributes-End, In order to ensure safe operation of this centrifuge, please read through this Attention:

If the collet chuck has been installed on the motor shaft, it is necessary to check

whether the protrusion of the motor ring is engaged in the gap of the collet chuck

before installing the rotor. If it is not inserted, the collet chuck must be reinstalled

according to Installation of the Collet Chuck described in before installing the

rotor. The final state of the protrusion of the motor ring being inserted into the gap of

collet chuck refers to the third item in Figure 7

Figure 11

5.4 Loading rotors

Always balance the samples.

Screw off the rotor lid (if the fixed-angle rotor equipped with a lid).

To ensure safe operation of the centrifuge, the rotor must be evenly loaded at all times. The centrifuge tubes / bottles must be filled with same volume solutions, the loaded centrifuge tubes / bottles must be opposite each other, the weight difference of the loaded tube racks / buckets (for swing-out rotor) should not exceed 1 g. Imbalanced running is strictly prohibited. There is serious accident will occur due to the imbalanced running.

Tags:, Description:, Attributes-End, In order to ensure safe operation of this centrifuge, please read through this Please check the maximum permissible revolutions of the test tubes / bottles (producer indication) .

1. Loading fixed-angle angle rotors

For the fixed-angle rotor, the loaded test solution for each tube / bottle should not exceed 75% of its nominal capacity as usual unless you can make sure the test tube / bottle can be 100% sealed. The test tubes / bottles must be loaded with equal weight solutions and must be loaded into the rotor symmetrically to make sure the rotor can run at a balanced state.

2. Loading swing-out rotors

For swing-out rotor, all of the buckets or tube racks must be installed inside the rotor cross before load the bottles / tubes into the rotor (if the swing-out rotor comes with tube racks, make sure all the steel sleeves were installed into the tube rack before load the tube in it as well.). To enable the rotor can centrifuge at a balanced state, please always obey the two criterion mentioned below during the rotor loading process:

1. For each bucket / tube rack, the placed tubes should enable the gravity center of the bucket / tube rack is at the center of the bucket/tube rack.

2. Opposing buckets / must be equally loaded.

The opposite bucket / tube rack loading should according to the bucket / tube rack which already loaded, make sure the loaded buckets / tube rack be opposite each other.

Tags:, Description:, Attributes-End, In order to ensure safe operation of this centrifuge, please read through this It is allowed to operate a 4 place rotor with 2 loaded buckets only, the loaded buckets must be opposite of each other. Make sure that the unloaded buckets are placed inside the rotor cross.

1. Set Speed / RCF value

Tap the rotation speed/centrifugal force icon More explanation about the icon in the home screen, 1. Program group: Display the program group number and name being on the left side of the

main interface to access to the speed/RCF set interface(see Figure 18), then enter

the desire speed value or RCF value on the keypad directly, tap "OK" to save the setting. According to the current installed rotor, the set speed value will be converted to centrifugal force automatically and displayed (The centrifugal force will also be automatically converted to rotational speed when setting centrifugal force, thus just set the speed or set the RCF is ok). If the speed setpoint or centrifugal force setpint is greater than the upper limit of the rotor installed, the set value cannot be saved.
