Section 2
System Overview
Principle and Intended Use
For in vitro diagnostic use for rapid separation of whole blood contained in original collection tubes.
IVD
The Express 2 is a microprocessor controlled, high-speed bench top centrifuge designed to rapidly
separate blood in the original evacuated or syringe type collection tubes.
The four-place 30° angle rotor included with the centrifuge is designed to provide rapid separation
while minimizing potential re-suspension of cells. The speed is fixed at 8500 rpm (+ 250 rpm),
producing a centrifugal force of 4440 xg at the maximum tube radius of 5.5 cm. The operator may
select three factory-set timed cycles, each cycle spinning for 30, 120 and 180 seconds.

Error Indicators
Error codes for the Express 2 are specified by a combination of the Error/Service LED flashing or
continuous and any combination of the cycle LEDs on the front panel.
Error/Service = Quick Spin = 30 s Normal Spin = 120 s Hard Spin = 180 s
Error/Service light will continuously illuminate when the centrifuge has achieved a total cycle count of 18,000, which
is the useful life of the drive system. Drive mechanism needs replacing. Contact an authorized service center.

Spinning the Sample
Loading
1. Ensure the appropriate tube inserts are installed. The Express 2 centrifuge is
provided with four tube inserts for 13 x 75 mm tubes (Product No. SV01). Other sizes
are available (See accessories).
2. Two or four tubes may be processed at one time. The rotor must be properly
balanced to ensure smooth operation.
3. Use the same size and style tubes in opposite positions. Balance liquid in tubes to
within 0.5 mL.
CAUTION - Replace balance tube every 10 cycles to prevent possible breakage due
to repeated stress of centrifugation.
Table 1: Express 2 Cycle Settings. The operator should experiment with different settings to
achieve optimum performance for specific applications. The following are general guidelines:
NOTE: The Express 2 has no “on-off” switch, and therefore is normally left plugged in and “on”.
Unloading
1. Upon completion of the cycle, the rotor decelerates to a complete stop in 25 seconds and
the latch interlock automatically unlocks.
2. Squeeze the black latch pieces together to open cover.
3. Carefully remove tubes using care not to re-suspend the sediment.
