ALANCING OADS
Your centrifuge must contain a balanced load to work properly. Spinning balanced loads will extend the life of the
centrifuge and produce better results. Use the following rules when loading the rotor.
is to be spun, fill a tube with water to match the weight of the unpaired sample and place it across from this sample.
Opposing tube holders must be equally loaded or empty or loaded with equally weighted samples.
Buckets can be placed around the rotor in any of the rotor loading configurations shown.
Each bucket must be loaded symmetrically with tubes as above.
When loading only 3 tubes, they must be of equal weight.
