Screw the aerosol-tight rotor lid securely onto the rotor spindle. Operating the unit without the rotor lid can cause high-pitched wind noise and compromises sample containment. Running the Centrifuge

Because the 5402 is refrigerated, ice buildup can accumulate along the chamber walls. Leave the lid open when the unit is powered off overnight to allow ice to melt. Wipe up the pooled water immediately.
Shows the actual run speed. Note that older physical manuals primarily focus on RPM, but standard conversion charts allow you to calculate the exact G-force (RCF) based on the rotor radius. Temperature Management The centrifuge features an
Apply a thin layer of specialized centrifuge lubricant (or high-quality silicone grease) to the rotor threads and the motor shaft connection to prevent seizing. Annual Certification

If you need help finding a specific document or diagnosing a mechanical issue, tell me:
Set the desired temperature using the Temp button. For sensitive enzymes, pre-cool the unit.
Asymmetrical sample loading, loose rotor nut, or worn motor brushes.
Inspect the rubber O-rings on the rotor lid for cracks. Apply a thin layer of centrifuge grease to the rings to maintain an airtight seal. Autoclaving
