When loading the rotor, if an odd number of samples are to be spun, use a counterweight that matches the weight of the unpaired sample and place it directly across from the sample. Pro tip opposing buckets must be equally loaded in weight or empty. Examples include balancing the weights across from each other vertically or horizontally, or loading all four buckets. Additionally, the buckets used in the rotor must all be from the same manufacturing lot. It is recommended to replace the buckets after every 24 months of use. However, be sure to continuously inspect the buckets for cracks. If any cracks are found, replace the buckets immediately. If the centrifuge is stuck on one setting, it typically means the cycle selection is locked. Press and hold the unlock button for five seconds to resolve this issue.
