 Frequently Asked Questions

Should I balance the tubes when using a FastPrep® instrument?
No. The FastPrep® is not a centrifuge and you do not need to balance the tubes on adapters.
However, if you do not fill the tube holders completely, avoid having all your tubes in one location.
Place your tubes evenly over all the holes in your adapter. To ensure better stability for the top parts
of the adapters, it is important that the adapter rests on more than two points. We recommend
using these with a minimum of 4 tubes. Use empty tubes if necessary .

There is nothing on the display of the FastPrep-24® Classic or
FastPrep-24® 5G, but it is powered and turned on?
Each device is shipped with the ‘emergency stop’ engaged for safety purposes and will not run until
the emergency stop is disengaged. Disengage the ‘emergency stop’ by turning clockwise until it
pops out. EMERGENCY
STOP

How do I convert from the m/s used to describe FastPrep® motion to
the RPM measurements used by other bead beating systems?
The RPM value used by other bead beating systems refers to rotations per minute. However,
FastPrep® instruments do not use a rotating motion but rather a tridimensional motion. The
FastPrep®’s m/s refers to the distance traveled by the sample or adapter bottom during one second.
To convert from rpm to m/s, compare the number of turns carried out by the axis of the engine
against the meter per second below.
• Motor speed at 4 m/s is equivalent to between 3,400 to 4,100 RPM.
• Motor speed at 6.5 m/s is equivalent to between 3,700 to 4,500 RPM.
Note that this conversion depends on the adapter used and the distance from tubes to the axis of
the FastPrep®.

Can I use and leave my FastPrep® in a cold room at 4 °C for a long
period of time? 4 °C
The operating temperature range for the FastPrep® Instruments is from 2 – 48 °C so storing at
4 °C is not a problem. MP Biomedicals has thoroughly tested using and storing a FastPrep®in a
cold room and have confirmed with other customers. However, it was built to be used at room
temperature so there is a risk of condensed water negatively affecting the motor oil.
