2. Safety precautions
Caution!
Make sure you have fully read and understood the present Manual before using the equipment. Please pay special attention to sections marked by this symbol.
GENERAL SAFETY The protection provided can be ineffective if the operation of the appliance does not comply with the manufacturer’s requirements. Save the unit from shocks and falling. Store and transport the unit in a horizontal position (see package label) at ambient temperatures between -20°C and +60°C and maximum relative humidity of 80%. After transportation or storage and before connecting it to the electric circuit, keep the unit under room temperature for 2-3 hrs. According to EN 61010-2-20, a centrifuge without a lid gasket is not considered a biologically safe system and therefore cannot be used for centrifuging hazardous materials contaminated with toxic, radioactive or pathogenic microorganisms. Use only original parts and accessories, provided by manufacturer for this product. Before using any cleaning or decontamination methods except those recommended by the manufacturer, check with the manufacturer that the proposed method will not damage the equipment. Do not make modifications in design of the unit.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY Connect only to the mains with voltage corresponding to that on the serial number label. Use only the external power supply provided with this product. Ensure that the power plug is easily accessible during use. Disconnect the unit from the mains before moving. If liquid penetrates into the unit, disconnect it from the mains and have it checked by a repair and maintenance technician. Do not operate the unit in premises where condensation can form. Operating conditions of the unit are defined in the Specifications section.
DURING OPERATION Do not impede the platform motion. Do not operate the unit in environments with aggressive or explosive chemical mixtures. Please contact manufacturer for possible operation of the unit in specific atmospheres. Do not operate the unit if it is faulty or has been installed incorrectly. Do not use outside laboratory rooms. Do not place a load exceeding maximum load value mentioned in the Specifications section of this Manual.
BIOLOGICAL SAFETY The user is responsible to carry out appropriate decontamination if hazardous material spills on or penetrates into the equipment.

3. General information
MSV-3500 Multi Speed Vortex is designed for soft or intensive mixing of reagents in different size and type plastic tubes. It is designed for operation in life-science laboratories working in the fields of biochemistry, cell and molecular biology.
Unit has four types of interchangeable platforms: for Eppendorf type microtest tubes, 10/15/50 ml tubes (diameter 12/16/30 mm). Platforms can be ordered separately or as one set with MSV-3500.
Speed and time are under microprocessor control. LCD display indicates two lines of values: the set and actual values of speed and time. Unit provides high maximum speed of platform rotation efficiently mixing microvolumes (less than 5 ml) of samples.
4. Getting started
4.1. Unpacking. Remove packing materials carefully and retain them for future shipment or storage of the unit. Examine the unit carefully for any damage incurred during
transit. The warranty does not cover in-transit damage. Warranty covers only the units transported in the original package.
Note.
Automatic balancing system (ABS) produces a soft metal-like noise
when moving the unit during unpacking or during acceleration and deceleration of the platform. It is a normal occurrence and does not indicate a fault or a loose part.

4.3. Setup.
– Place the unit on horizontal even working surface.
Caution!
Regularly clean support suction feet for improvement of their adhe-
sion with desk surface.
– Remove the protective film from the display. – Connect the power cable to the external power supply. – Connect the power cable to the socket on the rear side of the unit, and position it
with easy access to the power switch and plug.
4.4. Platform installation or replacement.
– Release the screw on the top of the tube mixing platform by turning it counter-clock-
wise.
– Lift and replace the tube mixing platform.
– Fix the screw tightly by turning it with the hand clockwise as far as it will go.
Caution!
Improper fixation may cause platform rotation and noise from trem-
bling at fixation point.
5. Operation
Recommendations during operation It is recommended to fill tubes up to 75% of the rated volume for efficient mixing.
Figure 1. Control panel 5.1. Connect external power supply to a power socket and switch ON (I position) the
power switch located on the rear panel of the unit. 5.2. The unit will turn on and the following readouts will be shown on the display:
– previously set time and speed in the upper line (Set); – timer mode (STOP/RUN) and current speed in the lower line (Actual). 5.3. Place EVEN number of tubes filled up equally in the opposite sockets on the platform. 5.4. Use the + and – Speed keys (fig. 1/7) to set the required speed (increment – 100 rpm).
Holding down the key for longer than 2 s increases value change speed. The set value is displayed in the upper line of the display (fig. 1/3). 5.5. Use the + and – Time keys (fig. 1/5) to set the required working time interval in min & sec (increment – 1 min). Holding down the key for longer than 2 s increases value change speed. The set value is displayed in the upper line of the display (fig. 1/1).

5.6. 5.7.
5.8. 5.9. 5.10.
Press the Start/Stop key (fig. 1/6). The platform will start vortexing and the timer indicator will start counting the time interval in the lower line of the display – Actual (fig. 1/2). If the working time is not set (or is reset) and the display shows 00:00, pressing the Start/Stop key will cause the unit to operate continuously until the Start/Stop key is pressed. Actual value of the platform speed is displayed in the lower line of the display (fig. 1/4) After finishing of the program (after the set time elapses) the platform motion will stop and flashing reading “STOP” will appear in the lower line of the display accompanied by the repetitive sound signal until the Start/Stop (fig. 1/7) key is pressed. The platform motion can be stopped at any time by pressing the Start/Stop key. After finishing the operation turn the unit OFF by switching the power switch at the rear panel to O position and disconnect the external power supply from electric circuit.
