Entering Acceleration and Deceleration Rates
You can select one of ten acceleration rates and eleven deceleration rates to protect the gradient
and sample-to-gradient interface. Select rates depending on the type of run you are performing—
for pelleting runs, where sample mixing is not a concern, maximum acceleration and deceleration
can be used. If running delicate gradients, a lower setting may be needed. Typical acceleration and
deceleration rates are listed in
Table 2.1
. If no rate is selected, the centrifuge automatically
accelerates and decelerates at maximum.
