Overview:
Centrifuge During use, in addition to knowing the correct operating procedures, you should also pay attention to the centrifuge rotor.
Why do we still need to pay close attention to the centrifuge rotor even though we already know the correct operating procedures for the centrifuge? The main reason is that centrifuges generate varying levels of centrifugal force, and rotor materials come in a wide range of types. However, once a rotor is installed in a particular centrifuge, its material remains fixed—there’s no way to swap rotors simply based on whether the substance being separated by the centrifuge has higher or lower requirements for centrifugal force. As a result, the rotor can gradually become damaged over time, a damage that builds up slowly rather than becoming immediately apparent. Therefore, it’s crucial to carefully monitor the centrifuge rotor every time you use the machine.
Next, let me walk you through the key aspects to pay attention to when handling centrifuge rotors:
If the rotor and lining show signs of corrosion or other defects, the centrifuge must not be used.
Use only centrifuges that have been approved by the manufacturing company and are equipped with rotors and accessories. The use of substandard equipment is strictly prohibited. Glass breakage or container explosions caused by loss of balance at high speeds can pose serious hazards.
Do not open the cover while the rotor is rotating.
Do not use any materials that could damage the centrifuge rotor. For example, highly corrosive substances can damage the rotor and its lining materials, compromising their mechanical strength.
Do not reach your hand into the rotor cavity while the rotor is in motion.
Infectious substances, toxic substances, pathogenic substances, and radioactive substances must be handled using specific rotors and containers. If there is a risk of contamination by toxic substances, radioactive substances, or pathogenic substances, appropriate measures should be taken to ensure personal safety.
Do not use the centrifuge if the rotor is overloaded.
If the rotor is loaded asymmetrically, the centrifuge must not be used.
The above is a brief overview of several key aspects to keep in mind when operating the rotor of a centrifuge. These are all straightforward explanations and analyses.
