  • Page 45 Refrigerated Centrifuge Sigma 4-16KS 6 Using the centrifuge Acceleration This function is used to select an acceleration curve. One can select a linear rise (curves 0-9) or a quadratic rise (curves 10-19). The acceleration curves 20-29 can be programmed as desired (see chapter 11.3 - "Acceleration and deceleration curves").
  • Page 46 Refrigerated Centrifuge Sigma 4-16KS 6 Using the centrifuge Fig. 19: Program "RAPID_TEMP" The program will only be loaded if the actual temperature is above the set temperature. NOTE • Press the start button in order to start the rapid cooling run.
  • Page 47 Refrigerated Centrifuge Sigma 4-16KS 6 Using the centrifuge If the "RAPID_TEMP" program is used, the temperature of the unloaded aluminium bucket will be displayed. If samples, which have not been precooled, are placed into the buckets, the displayed temperature will deviate from the actual sample temperature.

  • Page 50 Refrigerated Centrifuge Sigma 4-16KS 6 Using the centrifuge Density This setting is useful for glass vessels. If the density of the liquid to be centrifuged is higher than 1.2 g/cm , the value must be adapted manually in order to prevent the glass vessel from breaking. This will reduce the maximum possible final speed (see chapter 2.2.2.2 - "Density").
