Centrifuge Function

Centrifuge Function
The Avanti JXN series is a refrigerated centrifuge that generates centrifugal forces required for a
wide variety of applications. Together with the Beckman Coulter rotors designed for use in this
centrifuge, applications include:
• Routine processing such as sample preparations, pelleting, extractions, purifications,
concentrations, phase separations, and spin column and spin filter centrifugations.
• Rapid sedimentation of protein precipitates, large particles, and cell debris.
• Preparation of subcellular organelles such as mitochondria, nuclei, chloroplasts, and crude
microsomes.
• Separation of blood cells and cellular components.
• Pelleting of prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells.
• Gradient separation, for example, Ficoll-Hypaque and Percoll.
• Nucleic acid precipitation.
• Virus isolation.
• Bacteriophage isolation.
The Avanti JXN series centrifuge design features a brushless switched-reluctance drive motor
automatic rotor identification system, FRS (friction reduction system), vacuum control circuitry,
temperature control system, and programmable acceleration and deceleration times.

Touch Screen

The touch screen is both the information display and the control input for the instrument. As they
are needed, control buttons appear on the screen. When you select a button, you activate that
control.
Each component of the touch screen interface is explained in the following chapters.
