WARNING: The processing chamber of the Bead Ruptor 96 is enclosed by a strong covering lid. Start-
ing of the machine is possible only with the lid closed. If the lid is open, message "LID" appears on the
display, when the START/STOP key is pressed. When message "LID" appears on display, the lid must
be closed and the error message cleared by pressing the START/STOP key. The instrument can then be

MILLING JAR FILL REQUIREMENTS
WARNING: The sample quantity must not be less than 25% of the milling jar capacity. The milling balls
may otherwise damage the milling jars. The milling jars and milling balls must be the same material.
Otherwise the milling jar could be damaged.
WARNING: The instrument must be balanced prior to operation. Do not operate the instrument with only
one milling jar or one well plate adapter installed in a single milling jar holder. Both milling jar holders
must have either a milling jar (filled with equivalent mass) or well plate adapters. If not balanced dam-
age to the lid is possible.
