Centrifuge Compartment
The centrifuge compartment is located beneath the blue
centrifuge compartment door.
Centrifuge Compartment
Centrifuge. The centrifuge uses centrifugal force to separate
whole blood into its components. The separation chamber on
the disposable kit fits into a 3-arm carrier in the centrifuge. The
blood is processed within the sterile, disposable pathway in the
kit and does not come in contact with any of the centrifuge
components or other areas of the instrument.
Leak Detector. The instrument has a leak detector that is
located along the bottom of the centrifuge compartment. It uses
conductivity between two metallic strips to detect the presence of
fluid. An alarm is triggered if the instrument detects a possible
leak condition.
