MODEL DESCRIPTION

Satisfy your lab’s most diverse processing requirements with the BOOST 2 Flex. Customize settings and check every

detail on the digital display. Program up to 10 custom cycles.

FEATURES

Any of the ten (10) cycles may be customized and/or conveniently pre-set for your lab’s most common

applications. Use pre-set cycles or customize them as needed.

A time and speed/g-force can be quickly entered for a single use cycle. The cycle will not be retained in memory.

If desired, the control panel can be temporarily locked on one cycle for error-free reproducibility.

A Preset Lock can be turned on to prevent changes from being made accidentally to programmed cycles.

Up to 10 cycles can be programmed for time, speed, and braking and labeled with a custom name. Cycles may

be programmed by g-force (RCF) rather than speed to facilitate matching validated cycles and manufacturers’

IFUs.

A digital cycle counter tracks the number of cycles the centrifuge has run.

Lid lighting indicates the centrifuge’s status (ready, running, done), informing the operator when tubes are ready

for the analyzer and preventing tubes from being left in the centrifuge longer than necessary (patent pending).

A traditional audible alert indicates the completion of the cycle. The audible alert can be muted.

Cool–Flow design prevents overheating of samples by using ambient air to keep specimens at room temperature.

The carriers are fiber reinforced for high strength, durability, and years of trouble-free use.

(Autoclave-compatible carriers are also available as an alternative option. Contact Drucker Diagnostics

Customer Service for more information.)

A clear lid permits safe observation of samples and optical calibration of speed.

The lid safety system prevents the centrifuge from operating unless the lid is closed and latched.

The lid safety system only allows entry into the centrifuge after the rotor has completely stopped.

The high-power brushless motor provides years of operation with no routine maintenance.

INTENDED USE

The Boost 2 Flex is intended to be used as a general-purpose laboratory centrifuge, intended for safe and rapid

density-based separation of fluids, including physiologic fluids, in approved specimen receptacles for qualitative or

quantitative test procedures.

INITIAL SETUP

Unpack and verify that all the following are included:

•

Centrifuge

•

Power cord

•

Carriers

•

Operating manual

Setup the centrifuge on flat and level surface. A bench top clearance height of 21” (54 cm) is required to open

the lid.

The centrifuge should have 6” (15 cm) of clear space around the centrifuge. Proper ventilation is necessary to

prevent the overheating of samples as well as premature failure of the centrifuge. Choose an area which allows

unencumbered air flow, and where the temperature remains between 16°C and 32°C.

No hazardous material shall be permitted in the clearance envelope during operation.

The operator time within the envelope shall be limited to the time necessary for loading, unloading, and

centrifuge operation only.

Plug the provided line cord (or equivalently rated line cord) into the centrifuge

Plug the line cord into an approved electrical outlet.

Turn on the power switch located on the back of the centrifuge.

BE SURE THE ELECTRICAL OUTLET IS ALWAYS ACCESSIBLE AS THE LINE CORD IS THE

MEANS OF EMERGENCY

DISCONNECTION!

QUICK START

The screen display alternates between the name of the currently selected cycle and its parameters.

Start

Begins running the cycle displayed on the screen. The lid must be

closed.

Unlock

Allows access into the rotor chamber by engaging the unlocking

mechanism. Entry is only possible when the rotor is stopped.

Stop

Pressing the UNLOCK button during operation will terminate the

run and unlock the lid after the rotor has come to a stop.

Cycle Selection

Press the up and down buttons next to the screen to select the

desired saved cycle.

To ensure repeatability, the centrifuge can be locked either on one cycle (Single Cycle Lock) or restricted to the saved

cycles (Preset Lock). The Single Cycle Lock also prevents making changes to the parameters of the selected cycle.

The Preset Lock allows selection of any saved cycle but prevents changing the parameters of saved cycles.

Turn the lid knob counterclockwise and open the lid. The lid light will turn off.

You may now safely remove the samples.

BALANCING LOADS

Your centrifuge must contain a balanced load to work properly. Spinning balanced loads will extend the life of the

centrifuge and produce better results. If an odd number of samples is to be spun, fill a tube with water to match the

weight of the unpaired sample and place it across from this sample.

Opposing carriers must be equally loaded, or empty, or loaded with equally weighted samples.
