Device
The rotor chamber allows the rotor to rotate at high speeds. A steel protector is
provided around the chamber for the operator's safety in case of any rotor
mishap during centrifugation.
This centrifuge is equipped with a sensor that detects severe vibration of the
rotor due to improper bucket setting or excessive imbalance, and decelerates
the rotor. If an imbalance is detected, the run will be terminated and
IMBALANCE will be displayed.
Door Lock For safety reasons, the door is automatically locked while the rotor is rotating.
The locked state is held even if the instrument power is turned off. The door can
be opened/closed only when the rotor stops.
