    5 Operating Centrifuge overview The new generation of MSE CENTRIFUGES LTD’s laboratory centrifuges is provided with state-of-the- art microprocessor control systems, very durable and quiet asynchronous brushless motors and accessories consistent with requirements of the present-day user. Centrifuge description Fig.1. General view 1.
  • Page 16 Construction The centrifuge has a rigid self-supporting structure. The housing is made of sheet aluminium, the back is made of steel sheet. Front and cover are made of ABS type plastic. The cover is fixed on steel axles of hinges and from the front, it is locked with an electromagnetic lock blocking any possibility of opening during centrifugation.
  • Page 17 In case of rotors designed with the cover (angled rotor), they must not be used without the rotor  lid. Rotor covers must be closed tightly. Rotor covers ensure smaller drags of the rotors, proper setting of the test-tubes and airtight sealing. Please only use buckets intended for the selected types of the rotor.
  • Page 18 Checking of excessive temperature If the temperature in rotation chamber exceeds 50°C (Harrier) / 65°C (Harrier R/RH) caused by, for example, a malfunction of the cooling system, the drive will be switched off and an error message will be displayed.

  • Page 32: Temperature Control

    7 Temperature control Harrier R and Harrier RH only The centrifuge is equipped with ecological refrigerating system with temperature control. During centrifugation, differences in temperature may appear on the display and temperature of the samples in the rotor. This depends on the thermal conductivity of the rotor, samples and centrifugation time, initial temperature of rotor and samples.
  • Page 33 Centrifugation/SHORT mode. Cooling and heating notes Centrifuges with cooling (HARRIER R and HARRIER RH) are equipped with an efficient cooling system. It allows for the desired temperatures in the chamber even at maximum spin speed or fast to be reached quickly (e.g. 4⁰C and 36⁰C). Note that the amount of time needed to reach a set temperature is dependent on multiple factors, including: the power of the cooling system, the shape of the rotor, the rotor speed, ambient temperature, etc.
