Micro Centrifuge - Precautions and Troubleshooting for Using Micro Centrifuges

A micro centrifuge is a device used for centrifugal separation of samples. When using it, some precautions should be taken to ensure the smooth progress of the experiment and timely troubleshooting. Here are some suggestions:

Micro Centrifuge - Precautions and Troubleshooting for Using Micro Centrifuges

Precautions for using micro centrifuges:

Balanced sample: When loading the sample tube, ensure that the sample is evenly distributed within the centrifuge tube to avoid vibration caused by imbalance.

Choose appropriate centrifugal force and time: Select the appropriate centrifugal force and time according to experimental requirements to ensure separation efficiency and sample integrity.

Use appropriate centrifuge tubes: Use centrifuge tubes that are suitable for the centrifuge specifications to ensure they can withstand the required centrifugal force.

Sealed centrifuge: When running the centrifuge, ensure that all covers and seals are installed correctly to prevent liquid leakage inside the centrifuge.

Check the balance of the centrifuge: Before each use, check the balance of the centrifuge to ensure that there are no foreign objects inside, and adjust the position of the centrifuge tube.

Be cautious when opening the centrifuge: After the centrifuge stops running, wait for it to stop before opening to avoid injury caused by movement.

Micro Centrifuge - Precautions and Troubleshooting for Using Micro Centrifuges

Troubleshooting micro centrifuges:

Centrifuge cannot start: Check if the power connection is normal. Ensure that the centrifuge door is closed. Check for power failure.

Excessive noise from centrifuge: Check if there are any foreign objects inside the centrifuge, such as fragments of centrifuge tubes. Check the balance of the centrifuge to ensure even loading of the sample.

Unstable centrifuge speed: Check if the base of the centrifuge is stable. Ensure that the sample inside the centrifuge tube is uniform. Check if there are any internal faults in the centrifuge.

The centrifuge cannot reach the set speed: Check if the correct speed and centrifugal force have been selected. Check if the power supply of the centrifuge is stable. If it is a speed adjustable centrifuge, check for any speed adjustment faults.
