A fail-safe cover interlock ensures that the cover is closed before a run can
begin, and prevents the cover from opening until the rotor has slowed to a
safe speed, even if the power fails. The rugged steel cabinet and rigid
construction provide quiet operation and long-term reliability. A run
automatically aborts at a safe, low speed if the rotor is unbalanced.
Both units are easily configured to many different AC power sources, have
CSA certification, and are designed to meet requirements for UL listing, IEC
1010, British Standard 4402 and other international standards.
Voltage Locate the power entry module on the lower left side of the unit
(Figure 2-1). On the right side of this module is the fuse drawer
(Figure 2-2). A small latch on the left holds the drawer in place.
Press the latch and slide the drawer out. When removing the fuse
drawer, be careful that the fuses do not fall out.

If the number visible in the window differs from the voltage at your
site, remove the square insert, rotate it, and insert it so that the
correct voltage is displayed through the window. (100, 120, 220, or
240 Volts. See Section 6 Specifications for operable voltage ranges.)
Line Frequency (Centra-MP4R Only). Locate the 50Hz/60Hz switch to the right of the
power receptacle. Adjust this switch with a tool(screwdriver) to match
the frequency at the site.
Power Cord The unit requires a grounded power supply (3-prong power outlet).If
your facility does not have properly-grounded power outlets, arrange
for proper grounding.
Caution: Do not remove the grounding pin from the centrifuge power
cord. Do not use the bare wired power cord to attach a power plug that
does not have a grounding pin.
When using the power cord with bare wires, install any required plug and
attach the cord to the receptacle on the lower left side of the centrifuge. Plug
into the power outlet.
Warning: The power cord(s) provided with the unit is correctly rated for
the highest current demand. This power cord should not be
interchanged with cords from equipment with lower current demand.
Exchange of power cords between equipment may create a fire hazard.
The voltage and frequency settings may need to be changed at the new
location. Check carefully that the unit is configured for the correct voltage
and frequency. If necessary follow the instructions in Section 2.3.
The front panel contains numeric displays labeled °C (MP4R only), RPM/
RCF, ROTOR/RADIUS, and MINUTES. Normally, the numeric displays
indicate actual readings of temperature, rotor speed, and the elapsed time of,
or time remaining in, the run. The display instead indicates the desired
settings for the run:
When the display shows actual readings, the numbers are bright; when the
display shows desired settings, the numbers are dim.
The number under this symbol represents the rotor speed in RPM or the
Relative Centrifugal Force (RCF) in xg.
RPM This key toggles between RPM and RCF. When RPM is selected, the speed
RCF indicator displays revolutions per minute. When RCF is selected, the speed
indicator displays relative centrifugal force, and the rotor/radius indicator
displays either the rotor number or the rotor radius. RCF is only indicated
when a rotor number has been selected in the rotor/radius display.
The number under this symbol displays time. Times of less than 10 minutes
are displayed as [mm:ss]. Times of 10 minutes or longer are displayed as
minutes. Time can be set up to 360 minutes. In the hold mode, times up to
999 minutes will be displayed. Times greater than 999 minutes are displayed
by alternately flashing hours, shown as H[hh], and minutes past the
displayed hours, shown as [mm].
The arrow keys beneath each display are used to view or change the desired
settings for temperature (MP4R only), rpm/rcf, rotor/radius, or time. The first
time the key is pressed, the numeric display simply switches from actual
readings to desired settings, without changing the desired settings. When
pressed again, the selected setting increases or decreases once for each
press. If the key is held in, the setting changes continuously until the key is
released. The longer it is held in, the more rapidly the setting changes.
Usually, the key is held in to approach a desired setting, then pressed
repeatedly to select the exact setting. Three seconds after the arrow key is
released, the display returns to the actual readings.
This key starts a run. The run is governed by the desired settings shown on
the numeric display. The associated green light blinks until the rotor
approaches the desired run speed. Then the light stays on until the end of
the run.
This key stops the run. (A run will also stop automatically when the desired
time has elapsed.) The associated red light blinks as the rotor decelerates.
(It also blinks if an error occurs; see Section 3.5.) When the run ends, the
light stays on.
This key unlocks the cover. This key is inoperative if a run is in progress;
pressing it does not stop the run. The cover will not unlock until the rotor
speed is less than 100 RPM. The associated yellow light is on whenever the
cover is open. A run cannot be started when the cover is open.
This key saves the currently displayed desired settings as stored program 0
through 9 (see Section 3.3). The numeric display above it shows the stored
program number or other mode of operation (see Section 3.2). The numeric
displays can also display warning or error messages (see Section 3.5).
This key controls rotor acceleration up to 400 RPM. If the yellow light over
the rabbit is lit, then full acceleration is selected. If the yellow light over the
turtle is lit, then slow acceleration is selected. Slow acceleration takes from
15 to 35 seconds to achieve 400 RPM, depending on the rotor and its
contents.
This key controls rotor braking. If the yellow light over the rabbit is lit, full
braking is selected. If the yellow light over the turtle is lit, slow braking is
selected. (This means the rotor will coast down from 600 RPM.) If both
lights are out, all braking is disabled; the rotor will coast from operating speed
to a stop.
IEC rotors are dynamically balanced at the factory. IEC matches removable
parts (trunnion rings, shields, buckets and carriers) to within 1 gram and
stamps the weight on each piece. Check these markings whenever you
interchange parts, to ensure that opposite parts are matched. Ensure that
the total weight of samples and removable parts loaded in opposing positions
are equal in weight to within 1 gram. The position numbers, present on many
rotors and adapters, identify opposing tube positions.
To obtain good dynamic balance, the opposite loads must not only be equal
in mass, but must also have the same center of gravity. Opposing containers
must be alike in shape, thickness, and distribution of glass or plastic. This is
especially important for large containers.
Tubes loaded into swinging bucket rotors must be symmetric around the axis
of rotation. Verify this by rotating the entire rotor 180° by hand: the loads
should be in the same apparent positions (not in the mirror image). In
addition, the loads within each bucket must also be symmetric around the
bucket’s pivot axis. Verify this by ensuring that each bucket is loaded so that
it does not tilt from the vertical when the rotor is at rest. Maintaining balance
within each bucket ensures that the bucket and the tubes swing out to
horizontal when the rotor reaches operating speed, applying centrifugal force
toward the bottom of the tubes. Failure to achieve full swing-out causes
vibration and premature wear of both the rotor and the motor.
Samples of like (similar) specific gravities may be processed in the same run
provided the samples of the same type are balanced around the rotor as
though they were the only pairs in the rotor.
Vibration All centrifuges have critical speeds at which vibration occurs. As the speed
increases beyond the critical speed vibration will cease. This inherent
condition also occurs during deceleration. An imbalanced load intensifies
these critical vibrations. Do not operate this centrifuge continuously at
observed critical speeds.
The 851, 852 and 853 rotors require an IEC Part No. 50036 hub
adapter. Use the wide rotor locking nut to secure the rotor to the
tapered hub adapter. For easiest use, leave the rotor and hub
adapter secured together when installing and removing. Use the
locking nut to secure the hub adapter to the shaft, and tighten
with a coin or tool.
Adding Rotors As new rotors are released by IEC, the rotor number and radius can be
added to the rotor menu. To do so, press the hidden key located behind the
“C” in IEC. Prog x.x will appear. Press RPM arrows until "rotor Add"
appears. Press the file key and "Rotor" will appear next to the Rotor/Radius
display. Press an arrow key under the rotor display to select the new rotor
number. Press the file key. "Radius" appears. Use arrow keys to select
maximum radius. Press file key again. "RPM" will be illuminated. Use the
RPM arrow key to select the maximum RPM for the rotor. Push file again.
Unit beeps three times to acknowledge addition of rotor. Press "C" in IEC to
return to normal operation. Note: Up to five rotors may be added to memory.
When the rotor memory is full, the unit displays "FUL" under the rotor
symbol.
Deleting Rotors Push "C" in IEC. Use RPM arrows to scroll to "rotor Add." Use the
time arrows to select "dEL" instead of "Add." Press file key. "Rotor"
appears. Use rotor arrows to select rotor to be deleted. Press file key to
delete. Unit beeps three times to acknowledge deletion of rotor.
The digits and symbols, which appear above the word PROGRAM when the
arrow keys are pressed, can be one of the following:
0-9 The unit is under control of the stored program with the number
shown.
H The unit is set to hold mode, in which it runs until you stop it.
The display indicates the parameters last selected for each PROGRAM
mode of operation.
During a manual operation, the MINUTES display counts down and displays
the time remaining in the current spin.
The run time specified begins either when the START key is pressed, or
when the rotor reaches 95% of set speed (see TIMING MODE). When the
elapsed time reaches this desired setting, deceleration begins. That is, the
run time does not include deceleration time.
The settings can be changed during a manual run. These changes affect
the run in progress. If the time setting is changed during a run, the unit
adjusts the displayed count-down timer so that your revised setting will be
the total time of the run. If the new time selected is less than the elapsed
time, the run will end.
Momentary Mode Momentary spin is useful for easily separated samples, for simultaneous
mixing of samples, and to deposit condensate droplets at the bottom of the
tube.
For momentary spin, set the mode so that a dash “-” appears above the word
PROGRAM. The dash also appears above MINUTES because there is no
programmed time in a momentary spin. Select temperature (MP4R only),
speed/g-force, acceleration mode, and deceleration mode, as for manual
operation.
Press and hold the START key. The run starts when you press the key and
ends when you release the key. In this mode you can perform very quick
separations or protocols.
During a momentary spin, the unit displays actual values, not desired
settings. The MINUTES display counts upward and displays the elapsed
time since you pressed the START key.
Hold Mode For hold mode (operation without time limit), set the mode so that H appears
above the word PROGRAM. The H also appears above MINUTES because
hold mode does not have a programmed time.
ACC, for the set time to start counting down at the beginning of acceleration;
that is, when the start key is pressed. The unit is originally set to this mode.
SPd, for the set time to start counting down when the rotor has reached 95%
of set speed. Display will alternately display set time and SPd until counting
begins.
To select a timing mode, press the TIME down arrow key , and scroll below
zero. ACC or SPd will appear. Press and release the TIME down arrow key
to choose the desired mode. After three seconds, or after pressing the FILE
or START key, the display will return to the last selected run time provided
the up arrow key has not been pressed.
The timing mode is stored along with the other parameters when a program
is saved. If a saved program has been recalled, altered, and not re-saved,
the timing mode will revert back to the previous mode when recalled.
Locking Programs Programs can be locked from the program lock in the special function
menu. Press the "C" in IEC. Use RPM arrows to scroll until "Loc P" is
displayed. Use the program arrow keys to select the program to be locked.
Pressing the following keys in the following order will lock or unlock a
program: Start, Stop, Cover Open, Stop, Start and File (Save). The display
will alternate between the program number and an "L" indicating that the
values of the program are locked and cannot be changed.
Recall Program Press a program arrow key to select the appropriate program number.
The programmed run parameters will be displayed and will become the set
parameters. To begin this run, simply press START.
Add/Change Program Select a program number with the program arrow keys. The current
program parameters will appear on the display. Modify the desired
parameters using the parameter arrow keys, or the ACCEL or BRAKE
switches. To make the changes permanent, press the PROGRAM SAVE
(file folder) key. The program number will stop flashing, and the new program
will be displayed and will remain in memory until further changes are made.
To make changes temporary, press START without pressing the PROGRAM
SAVE (file folder) key. The program display goes blank to indicate that the
values are now stored in the manual program and the instrument is not
operating from the program mode at this time. As long as the PROGRAM
SAVE (file folder) key is not pressed, the original program remains
unchanged.
If a temperature higher than ambient is specified, the unit does not heat the
rotor chamber except through the normal heating effect of the equipment
(i.e. air friction and motor heat).
If the rotor chamber is not at the temperature specified, it does not abort the
spin. However, if the rotor chamber differs by 5°C or more from the specified
temperature at the start of a run, the unit sounds an audible alarm (see
Section 3.5). The °C display switches between the actual and programmed
temperature until the two temperatures come within 5°C. This shows the
reason for the alarm. Press the STOP key if the run should not continue at
the actual temperature.
The unit is not designed for use as a refrigerator. The natural fanning action
of the rotating horizontal and fixed angle rotors serves to maintain a uniform
temperature distribution inside the chamber. Therefore, at zero RPM, there
is no correlation between set and actual chamber temperatures.
Any frost or condensation that forms in the rotor chamber should be removed
by allowing it to melt and removing it with a sponge or cloth. When the
centrifuge is not in use, turn it off or leave the cover open (disabling
refrigeration).
Rapid Condition When the chamber temperature is above the set temperature, RAPID
(MP4R Only) CONDITION will run a rotor at 500 rpm to increase air circulation in the
chamber to quickly cool the chamber to the set point. When the chamber
temperature is below the set temperature, RAPID CONDITION will run the
rotor at 3400 rpm to warm the chamber to the set temperature. When the
temperature has been reached a three beep signal will sound and the rotor
will brake to rest. (Some smaller rotors may not be able to warm the
chamber to the higher temperature settings.) To select this program, press
the PROGRAM arrow keys until a 'C' appears in the PROGRAM display.
Select the desired temperature, install a rotor, and press the START key.
HEAd This appears if you start a run without loading a rotor into the
chamber. The run ends. The cover must be opened to reset
this warning.
LId This appears briefly if you press the Start key but the cover
is not closed. Closing the cover resets the warning.
LInE LO/HI This appears as soon as power is applied to the unit if the
line voltage does not match the voltage configuration. It can
only be cleared by unplugging the unit and reconfiguring it
properly (see Section 2.3).
This section describes the use of specific rotors and accessories. More
detailed information is often shipped with the rotor or accessory itself. This
section contains five reference tables:
Relative centrifugal force (RCF or G-force) at a given speed varies with the
rotor, and with the length of the sample tube, because the distance of the
tube’s tip from the center of rotation is different. The Speed and Force
Tables indicate the maximum speed and RCF the Centra MP4 and the
Centra MP4R can achieve with various rotor/accessory combinations. The
Derating Table specifies reductions in maximum RPM when spinning
samples with specific gravity above 1.2.
Misapplication of any tube can cause tube rupture. To avoid this, compare
the G forces specified in the Speed and Force Table with the ratings for the
tubes you are using. If the tubes are not rated for the force the centrifuge will
apply, reduce the speed to the G-force listed for your tubes.
Corrosive Solvents Your IEC centrifuge is made of materials designed to resist attack from most
laboratory chemicals. The interior of the rotor chamber is stainless steel.
Rotors and accessories placed in the chamber are made of a variety of
materials, including aluminum and polypropylene. The Chemical Resistance
Table shows the suitability of each material with different classes of reagents.
Section 5.1 describes how to clean and remove corrosion from the chamber,
rotors, and accessories. Follow these instructions, and clean spills promptly,
to minimize the effect of corrosive chemicals and to avoid expensive repairs.

Dense Samples The Speed and Force Table lists the maximum speed for each rotor/adapter
combination in the Centra-MP4/R. These speeds are guaranteed only with
samples whose specific gravity is not greater than:
1.2 for swinging bucket rotors
1.5 for fixed angle rotors
For denser samples, the maximum guaranteed speed is reduced (derated)
by a factor from the table below:
Example. An angle rotor rated for 10,000 RPM, used with samples with a
specific gravity of 1.6, cannot spin faster than (10,000 x .967 =) 9,670 RPM.
Specific gravities greater than 3.0. This table is based on the formula:
√ (s0/sa)
...where s0 is the maximum specific gravity allowed before derating (1.2 or 1.5,
depending on the type of rotor), and sa is the actual specific gravity of the
sample in question. You can use the same formula to compute derating
factors for specific gravities greater than 3.0.
244 Rotor The 244 rotor is designed for centrifugation of multi-well microplates.
The weight of the loaded microplates must be equally distributed between
the rotor's two carriers. The maximum rated speed for the 244 rotor when
each of the carriers is loaded with 280 grams (total load of 560 grams) is
4000 rpm in the MP4/R.

5.1 Cleaning
Keep your centrifuge clean to ensure good operation and to extend its life.
Clean the entire sample chamber, rotor, and lid at the end of each workday,
and also right after any spill.
To clean the sample chamber, use a damp sponge, warm water, and a mild
liquid detergent suitable for washing dishes by hand, such as Ivory® liquid.
Do not use caustic detergents or detergents that contain chlorine ions, since
these attack metals. Remove stubborn stains with a plastic scrub pad. Do
not use steel wool, wire brushes, abrasives, or sandpaper, since they create
corrosion sites. Never pour water directly into the sample chamber. Scrub
the rotor’s tube cavities with a stiff test-tube brush that has end bristles and a
non-metallic tip. After cleaning any part, dry it properly, preferably using a
clean, absorbent towel.
1. Wipe the old lubricant from all rotor pins and buckets with a soft, clean,
lint-free cloth saturated with solvent such as trichloroethylene.
2. Clean the rotor and buckets as described above. The cleaning step is
important because BLC only adheres to a clean surface. If you are
unable to remove foreign matter in this way, contact an authorized IEC
Service Representative.
3. Shake the bottle of BLC vigorously until all the gray sediment at the
bottom of the bottle is dispersed.
5. Give the BLC 1 to 2 minutes to dry. Buff the bucket slots vigorously with
a soft, clean, lint-free cloth. Continue until no more BLC rubs off onto the
cloth. The surface will be a shiny, light gray.
Corrosion IEC manufactures and finishes rotors and structural accessories to give
maximum resistance to corrosion. However, maximum equipment life
requires that you continually inspect the rotor cavities for corrosion,
especially after using chloride ion solutions, such as sodium chloride (saline),
and sodium hypochlorite (household bleach). These solutions attack most
metals. Clean the rotor, rotor chamber, and accessories (particularly the
sample compartments and bucket cups) thoroughly after each such use.
Inspect all surfaces under bright light for corrosion; small crevices will grow
deeper and cause failure.
Replace the shaft, metal locking screw, rotor or accessories if they become
badly corroded, cracked deformed or gouged.
1. Follow the cleaning procedure at the start of this section. Soak the part
in the mild hand-dishwashing detergent. Scrub the part thoroughly with a
stiff test-tube brush having end bristles and a non-metallic tip.
2. Soak the part again in clear warm water for at least an hour.
3. Rinse the part thoroughly in warm water first, then in distilled water.
5. If this procedure does not remove the corrosion, discontinue use of the
part.
Storage Store parts on a soft surface to avoid damaging finished surfaces. Rotors
and other parts should be clean and dry for storage. Store them open to the
atmosphere, not in a plastic bag, so that any residual moisture will evaporate.
The parts should face downward to avoid retaining moisture in the cavities.
Unplug the centrifuge. Locate a hidden plug just below the front panel. Use
a screwdriver to remove this plug. Pull the attached cord to release the cover
interlock. Reassemble the plug in the hole.
5.3 Calibration
Open the cover and unplug the centrifuge. Unscrew the locking screw and
remove the rotor and all accessories. Locate the rubber motor boot at the
bottom of the rotor chamber. It is attached to the motor by a ring with 4
screws, and is fitted to the rotor chamber. Gently push the boot toward the
motor shaft to seperate it from the guard bowl. Locate and unscrew the two
brush holder caps (protruding from both sides of the motor). Take care not
to drop the brush caps into the motor well! Inside each cap is a brush
assembly, consisting of a rectangular carbon brush, a spring, and a copper
wire inside the spring. Remove and discard from both sides of the motor the
entire assembly inside each cap. Replace them with the spares. The
brush’s rectangular shape keeps it from being inserted improperly. Screw the
caps back in. Reinstall the motor boot assembly. Plug the centrifuge back
into the power outlet.
The “bruSh” warning indication on the front panel must now be reset. To do
so, follow this procedure:
1. Press the SPECIAL FUNCTIONS button located behind the “C” in IEC.
The RPM display now shows one of a set of Special Functions. This
menu is primarily used by service personnel.
2. Press either RPM arrow key until the RPM display shows “bruSh”. The
MINUTES display now shows the hours of brush life. At brush
replacement, this number is 700 or over.
3. Press the File key to set the brush life back to 0, reflecting the installation
of new brushes.
5.6 Warranty
Before returning equipment to IEC, you must contact IEC or your dealer and
receive a return goods authorization (RGA). All returned units must be
decontaminated, free of radioactivity, and free of hazardous and
infectious materials. The RGA paperwork includes a Certificate of
Decontamination for you to sign indicating that you have performed these
steps. IEC will not accept the shipment until this signed certificate is
received.
