13.1

Centrifugation with preselected time


Set the desired speed with the keys

Set the desired time with the keys

Press the key . The rotation indicator
START
The time is displayed in minutes. The last minute is counted down in seconds.
When the time is displayed in minutes, a point flashes next to the number.

After expiry of the time or if the centrifugation run is interrupted by pressing the key
with the set brake step.
During the centrifugation run the rotor speed and the remaining time are displayed.
13.2

Continuous operation


Set the desired speed with the keys

Set the time to zero with the key

Press the key . The rotation indicator
START
The first minute is counted up in seconds, and then the time is displayed in minutes.
When the time is displayed in minutes, a point flashes next to the number.

Press the key to end the centrifugation run. The rotor runs down with the set brake step.
STOP
During the centrifugation run the rotor speed and the expired time are displayed.
13.3

Short-time centrifugation


Set the desired speed with the keys

Keep the key pressed. The rotation indicator
PULSE
from 0.
The first minute is counted up in seconds, and then the time is displayed in minutes.
When the time is displayed in minutes, a point flashes next to the number.

Release the key again to end the centrifugation run. The rotor runs down with the set brake step.
PULSE
During the centrifugation run the rotor speed and the expired time are displayed.

Relative centrifugal force (RCF)

The relative centrifugal force (RCF) is given as a multiple of the acceleration of gravity (g). It is a unit-free value and
serves to compare the separation and sedimentation performance.
These values are calculated using the formula below:
RCF
RCF = relative centrifugal force
RPM = rotational speed (revolutions per minute)
r = centrifugal radius in mm = distance from the centre of the turning axis to the bottom of the centrifuge
The relative centrifugal force (RCF) stands in relation to the revolutions per minute and the centrifugal
radius.
