Place the material into the beaker. Before placing the specimen pls. check that the beaker is
perfectly clean.
Pour the solvent covering completely the conglomerate and leave it so until its complete broken in
pieces (not more than 1 hour).
At the end of the loading and disintegration cycle inside the beaker, place a ring paper filter over the
beaker and close it with the cover blocking it; place and close properly the cover of the machine
paying attention to introduce the closing snap of the cover into the safety system.
Now the centrifuge can be started (B2); the beaker will start rotating and have a gradual acceleration
until it reaches the maximum speed.
The solvent expelled from the container goes inside a beaker positioned outside the centrifuge
extractor thanks to an outlet pipe.
Once all the solvent has come out, stop the rotation of the beaker (turn B2)
Once the centrifuge has stopped, add 200 cc of solvent through the holes placed over the cover
(A10) by means of a tunnel and repeat the centrifuge operation, The solvent adding (not less than 3)
must be made until the liquid coming out is yellow clear.
Once these conditions have been reached, the residual material must be taken away from the beaker
and it has to be analysed (see charter STANDARD STOP).
For other tests pls. follow above procedure.
