1.1 GENERAL INFORMATION

Thank you for purchasing FastGene

High Speed Mini Centrifuge. This Manual includes the operation procedure. In order to

use the instrument properly, please read this manual carefully before using the instrument.

This centrifuge is designed for workstations in research laboratories in the fields of bioscience, medicine and chemistry. Twelve

1.5 ml or 2.0 ml micro test tubes can be centrifuged simultaneously in a 45°fixed-angle rotor.

1.2 FIRST QC CHECK

Please check the instrument and the packing list when you open the package. If you find there is something wrong with the

instrument or the packaging content, please contact Nippon Genetics Europe or your distributor in your country.

3.2. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Before using the instrument, please read this operation manual to ensure correct usage. Incorrect handling of the instrument

could possibly result in personal injury or physical damage on the instrument or its accessories.

1. ALWAYS locate the instrument on a flat, rigid and stable table capable of withstanding the weight of the instrument and its

spinning operation.

2. ALWAYS make a safety zone of 30 cm around the centrifuge to indicate that neither hazardous materials nor persons

should be permitted within the area during operation. ALWAYS position the instrument with enough space on each side of

instrument to ensure proper air circulation.

3. ALWAYS install the instrument within a temperature and humidity controlled environment. (Permissible ambient

temperature: +5°C ~ +35 °C, Relative humidity: ≤85%)

4. Before connecting the power, check the rated voltage.

5. Should not use unapproved rotors and associated accessories. Only use rotors from NIPPON GENETICS EUROPE with

appropriate centrifugal tubes and suitable adaptors to embrace sample containers tightly enough inside rotors.

6. Before operating the instrument, check if the rotor and the rotor lid are securely fastened. Should operate the instrument

with a rotor properly installed and secured to the motor shaft.

7. Mount the rotor on the motor shaft properly, check it with spinning manually.

8. Do not stop the rotor by touching with hand during the instrument is running.

9. Emergency door open should be performed only when spinning is completely stopped.

HighSpeed Mini Centrifuge

10. Should not exceed the rated speed or specific gravity. Samples whose density is greater than 1.2g/ml must have reduced

maximum rotational speed to avoid rotor failure.

11. The sample content should not exceed 80% of total capacity of a tube. Otherwise, it would cause spillage of sample fluid

and even the tube breakage.

12. ALWAYS load the tubes symmetrically with evenly weighted samples to avoid rotor imbalance. If necessary, use the water

blank to counterbalance the unpaired sample.

13. The operation speed should not exceed the highest value of the individual guaranteed g-forces of each centrifuge, rotor,

bucket or adaptors and sample container, especially the guaranteed g-force of sample container should not be neglected.

14. The rotors should be cleaned and kept dry after every use for longer life and safety.

15. ALWAYS disconnect the power supply prior to maintenance care and service to avoid electrical shock.

16. ALWAYS use proven disinfection procedures after centrifuging bio hazardous materials.

17. Should not centrifuge flammable, toxic, radioactive, explosive, or corrosive materials.

18. When it is necessary to use toxic or radioactive materials or pathogenic micro-organisms which belong to the Risk Group II

of WHO: “Laboratory Bio- safety Manual,” should follow national regulations.

Do not place dangerous materials within 30 cm distance around the instrument, and that is also

recommended by IEC 61010-2-020.

Use the emergency door open function only when the [Door] button on the control panel is dumb under

the condition of complete stop of rotor running.

Never try to open or move the instrument if it is not completely stopped.

If the power input is more than +/- 10% of the recommended voltage or fluctuates frequently, it may

cause malfunction of the instrument and often result serious damage.

Install the instrument at the place without any kinds of corrosive gases.

5. INSTALLATION

Power On/Off

1. Connect the AC Power cord at the power socket on the back of the instrument.

2. Turn on the instrument by pressing the switch on the back of the instrument.

Door Release

1. For opening the door, press the [DOOR] button.

The door is automatically opened after completion of spinning operation with

beeping sound.

When you close the door, close it until hearing clank shut.

☞

The door is not opened while the instrument is running.

If the door is opened, the instrument could not be operated even with pressing the [Start] button.

Power Failure: If there is any power failure during the operation, door is not opened with [Door] button. Door

can be opened only when the operation is completely stopped and the power is on again. If you want to

open the door at the power failure, please refer to 6. Emergency Door Open (page 10).

Rotor Coupling and Disassembling

Before coupling a rotor, clean the motor shaft and chamber with soft dry towel.

Fixed Angle Rotor

1. Mount a proper rotor into the motor shaft.

2. Place the Rotor Locking Nut at the center hole of the rotor.





To assemble the rotor: Rotate the Rotor Locking Nut clockwise

until tightly assembled.





To disassemble the rotor: Rotate the Rotor Locking Nut counterclockwise.

3. After loading sample tubes, close the rotor lid until hearing clank shut.





To open the lid, lift the nut.

HighSpeed Mini Centrifuge

8-well strip Rotor

1. Mount a proper rotor into the motor shaft.

2. Place the Rotor Locking Nut at the center hole of the rotor.





To assemble the rotor: Rotate the Rotor Locking Nut clockwise until tightly assembled.





To disassemble the rotor: Rotate the Rotor Locking Nut counterclockwise.

When the PCR rotor is coupled, please do not speed over 6,000 rpm / 2,400 rcf,

as mentioned on the rotor.

Positioning of Sample Tubes

1. Before loading sample tubes, check the water drop or dirt in the rotor hole or inner adaptor.

2. If there is a water drop or dirt in the rotor hole or inner adaptor, remove it with soft dry cloth.

3. Tubes should be placed in the rotor with same amount of samples at symmetrical positions.

4. Only use appropriate centrifugal tubes and do not exceed the speed beyond the tube’s max g-force.

5. For safety, fill the sample for 70~80% in the tubes.

Correct Ways of Sample Balancing & Tube Usage

☞

If the number of samples is not in pair, please load the control tubes at each symmetrical position. Otherwise, it results

noise and vibration, which eventually damage the instrument.
