1 Application The MPW-260/R centrifuges (MPW-260 – ventilated, MPW-260R – with cooling) belong to the family MPW-260/R/RH of the table top laboratory centrifuges for in vitro diagnostic (IVD). Devices are used for separation samples taken from people's, animal’s and plant’s components of different densities, under the influence of the centrifugal force, to provide information about their biological state. Its construction ensures easy operation, safe work and wide range of applications at laboratories engaged in routine medical analyses, biochemical research works etc. In the centrifuge, it is...

3 Installation Open the package. Remove the box containing the accessories. Take out centrifuge from the container. Keep the box and packing materials in case of service shipping. Content of the package name complete clamp spanner for the rotor spanner for emergency opening of the cover power cord – 230V / 120V fuse WTA T 4A – 230V / WTA T 6,3A – 120V (for MPW-260) fuse WTA T 10A – 230V / 120V (for MPW-260R) vaseline 20ml USB A-A cable user manual Ensure safe location. The centrifuge shall not be located near source of heat and shall not be subjected to direct sunlight. Centrifuge should be flat-levelled....

Do not position the centrifuge so that it is difficult to operate the power switch. Supply voltage given on the name plate has to be consistent with local supply voltage. MPW MED INSTRUMENTS laboratory centrifuges are 1st safety class devices and they are provided with the three-core cable with the plug resistant to dynamic loadings. Mains socket have to be provided with the safety pin (protective earth (PE)). It is recommended to install emergency cut-out that shall be located far from the centrifuge, near the exit or beyond the room. Before switching on, check whether the centrifuge is connected...

Fix the rotor on the motor axis firmly. Avoid unbalance. Load opposite buckets with the same accessories. Centrifugation of the test tubes of different sizes: ▪ There is a possibility to centrifuge test tubes of different sizes; however, it is absolutely necessary in such cases that opposite buckets and round carriers be the same. Mass of different containers with test tubes spun at the same time has to be comparable. Swing-out rotors must be equipped with all ( two or four –dependent to type of rotor) buckets. Lubricate the swing-out rotor journal pins. It is necessary to insert test tubes symmetrically...

Fill test tubes outside the centrifuge. Please pay special attention to the quality and proper thickness of the glass test tubes walls. Those shall be test tubes for centrifuges. Fill the rotor equipment to the same weight to prevent the centrifuge from being unbalanced. Safety hints ROTORS MAINTENANCE ▪ Lubricate the swing-out rotor journal pins. Use only accessories in good condition. Protect equipment against corrosion using accurate preventive maintenance. Make sure that rubber O-rings are lightly coated with silicone grease. Use high vacuum grease, e.g. type „C” by LUBRINA. MPW accessorises...

Maintenance conditions START-UP ▪ Prior to switching the centrifuge on, one shall read carefully all sections of this user manual in order to ensure smooth operation and avoid damages of this device or its accessories. In order to protect the centrifuge against unbalance, fill in the test tubes up to the same weight. Centrifuge must not be transported with the rotor mounted on the shaft.. One must use original rotors, tubes and spare parts only. In case of faulty operation of the centrifuge one shall ask for assistance of service of MPW MED. INSTRUMENTS company or its authorized representatives....

The centrifuge must be inspected by an authorized service provider at least once a year (after the warranty period). For example, the corrosive environment may be the reason for more frequent control. The tests shall be completed by issuing a validation protocol specifying checks on the technical condition of the laboratory centrifuge. It is recommended that you set up a document that records any repairs and inspections. Both of these documents should be stored at the place of use of the centrifuge. INSPECTION PROCEDURES CARRIED OUT BY THE OPERATOR Operator has to pay special attention to the...
