1. Turn on centrifuge using power switch located on the back of
centrifuge. The display panels should light up, accompanied by a
long 'beep'.
2. Press [Off] to open centrifuge lid. After the loud click indicating
unlocking of centrifuge, there will be a 3 second window before the
lid automatically re-locks.
3. Please make sure test tubes are tightly sealed before loading into
rotor buckets. Do NOT use buckets from another manufacturer or
interchange buckets from one centrifuge to another
4. Make sure loads are cross-balanced before centrifugation. Make
sure that test tubes opposite of each other are of equal weight and
size. Use sample fluid or water to provide balance. Proper sample
balancing will improve sample separation and will extend life of the
centrifuge. Please place test tubes into rotor buckets according to
follow configurations:

5. Adjust speed in increments of 100rpm.
6. Set desired operation time in increments of 1 minute. Maximum
operation time is 30 minutes.
7. Make sure lid is closed and locked, and press [On] to start operation
8. Timer will count down in increments of 1 minute. When remaining
time is less than 1 minute, the centrifuge will automatically switch
count-down unit to seconds.
9. Centrifuge will decelerate at time '0'. When comes to a complete
stop, centrifuge lid will automatically unlock accompanied by 5
consecutive loud beeps.

Note: the lid will remain unlock for 3 seconds only. Afterwards, please press
[off] to unlock and open the lid.
5. Maintenance and Care
With proper care and maintenance, S-33 will provide years of service to
your laboratory. Please follow the recommended guidelines:
1. Always disconnect the power source before performing cleaning
and maintenance
2. Use only quality test tubes. Lower quality glass tubes are likely to
fracture, leaking its contents into the rotor buckets even under low
rpm.
3. Never force a test tube into the rotor bucket. The rotor buckets are
designed to hold most commonly sized tubes, vacutainers, and SST's.
Some tubes are too large for the rotor buckets therefore should not
be used in the S-33.
4. Keep rotor buckets clean. If a test tube breaks inside the rotor
bucket, either dispose the entire rotor bucket and its content or
safely dispose the sample and broken glass. Make sure to
thoroughly clean and disinfect the inside and outside of the rotor
buckets.
5. It is recommended that the centrifuge to be cleaned at least once
every week. Any spilled sample in the chamber and on the
centrifuge must be immediately wiped and cleaned. Only use mild
cleaning solutions when cleaning the centrifuge. Strong and acidic
cleaners are not recommended for cleaning and should never be
used on the centrifuge. The rotor and buckets can be autoclaved up
to 120˚C for sterilization. Consult manufacturer before cleaning or
sterilizing the centrifuge with any methods not specified by the
manufacturer.
