INTRODUCTION & DESCRIPTION
Centrifuge Description
1-2 RC-6 PLUS
system interlocks keep the centrifuge from starting if the chamber door is open,
and prevent the door from being opened if a run is in progress and the rotor is
spinning. System interlocks will also automatically terminate a run in progress if
a system malfunctions.
The RC-6 PLUS drive system has a high-frequency brushless motor for fast
separations and reduced maintenance.
The refrigeration system, charged with environmentally- friendly CFC-free
SUVA® refrigerant, offers reliable performance similar to other Thermo
Scientific Superspeed centrifuges. The high-capacity refrigeration system is a
low temperature, hermetically-sealed unit that consists of a compressor, a
condenser, an evaporator/rotor chamber, and interconnecting tubing. When the
centrifuge is running, the refrigeration system will maintain selected
temperatures within the range specified for the centrifuge.
The RC-6 PLUS accepts the Thermo Scientific Superspeed rotors listed in the
Rotor Information Table in the Appendix.
Refer to Figure 1-1 to identify the parts of the RC-6 PLUS.
