Safety Features
The Airfuge ultracentrifuge has been designed and tested to operate safely indoors at altitudes up
to 2 000 m (6 562 ft).
The Airfuge is an exceptionally safe ultracentrifuge because the rotor is held in place by a pressure
differential created during centrifugation. An air pressure limitation of 35 psig (240 kPa) is factory
set. However, do not operate the instrument at more than 30 psig (207 kPa).
Controls and Indicators
Pressure Regulator Knob
The pressure regulator knob controls the driving air pressure. Pressing down on the knob and
turning to the right (clockwise) closes the door. Turning the knob further brings up the air pressure
and accelerates the rotor to speed.
Pressure Gauge
Operating air pressure is displayed on this gauge. Recommended operating air pressure is 30 psig
(207 kPa).
Run Light
The run light comes on when the timer is set and remains lit until the braking system is engaged.
