Selecting The Rotor - Thermo Scientific Sorvall MTX 150 Instruction Manual

Operation
How to use the option function
Process Touch panel operation
3 Press the Yes button on the deletion confirmation
box.
1. Other procedures
1. Making changes to the run parameters
Call the memory unit you want to make changes to and make the changes. Alternatively, delete the
memory unit, then store a new set of run parameters.
To make a change that will result in fewer steps, delete the memory unit and then enter a new set
of run conditions and store them.
2. Running the micro-ultracentrifuge starting from an intermediate step
You cannot run the micro-ultracentrifuge starting from an intermediate step in a memory unit that
contains multiple steps.
Store (register) run parameters for the intermediate step and later steps in another memory unit.
Then call the memory unit and run it.
3. What if a SPEED alarm goes on?
If a step stores a speed exceeding the maximum allowable speed of your rotor, the system will detect
it in the STEP1 run and display the SPEED alarm.
Double-check the speed of all steps and correct any wrong ones.
4. Stopping the micro-ultracentrifuge in operation
Press STOP button. The rotor stops and the system does not move to the next step.

Selecting the rotor

This micro-ultracentrifuge stores the maximum and average radii of each rotor in the internal memory.
Setting a speed causes this micro-ultracentrifuge to automatically calculate and display the RCF (relative
centrifugal force) value, while setting an RCF value causes the micro-ultracentrifuge to automatically
calculate and display the speed.
You can control the rotor data such as total operation hours and number of runs by registering your
rotors in the micro-ultracentrifuge.
