– Powerful motor drive, run samples as high as 17,135 xg – Solid aluminum rotor (24×1.5/2.Oml) with easy access design – User-friendly control with large LCD display
Speed can be set in rpm, up to 13,500 rpm in increments of 100 rpm, or rcf, up to 17,135 xg in increments of 100 x g. Operation of the centrifuge can be timed, from 0.5 to 99 minutes, or continuous. A momentary spin function is activated by pressing and holding the quick key. The powerful refrigeration system maintains temperatures as low as -10°C and is designed to reach 4°C (from room temperature) in less than 8 minutes.
The brushless motor drive quickly and effortlessly accelerates the rotor to set speed. A computer designed isolation system ensures vibration free operation, even with a slight imbalance. The Prism R is also equipped with an imbalance detection system that automatically shuts down operation in the event of a significant imbalance. Deceleration at the end of a run is attained in less than 18 seconds, yet will not disrupt samples.
– Imbalance identification system with automatic shut-off
– Quiet operation, less than 56 dBA at max. speed – Powerful refrigeration, temperature control from -10 to 40°C
The unique design of the 24 place rotor allows easy access to the tops of sample tubes. Individual tube slots in the solid aluminum rotor support the tubes along their length and contain sample in the event of tube failure. The rotor accepts 1.5/2.0ml tubes directly and smaller tubes through the use of adapters, sold separately. An optional Strip Spin adapter snaps on to the top of the rotor for spinning 0.2ml tubes and PCR strips. The rotor is seated on a tapered shaft which facilitates easy removal of the rotor for cleaning and autoclaving.
