1 Introduction
1.1 General Product Description
Marathon series units are low-speed, general purpose
centrifuges, used in medical, industrial, and scientific
applications.
The Marathon 3000 Series is available in two models:
ventilated (3000) and refrigerated (3000R). Sections of
this manual that apply to the refrigerated version will be
designated 3000R or refrigerated only.
Both models accommodate swinging bucket style rotors of
either 4 x 750 mL or 6 x 250 mL. They can process a
variety of tubes, bottles, and microsample tubes. The 4 x
750 mL rotor can process both standard and deepwell
microplates. Also available are pear shape and short form
conical oil tube rotors.
Each centrifuge has an easy to use front panel that provides
two modes of operation:
Manual
and
Programmed
.
Manual mode is used for entering temperature (3000R
only), speed/force, and time values for individual runs.
Program mode allows you to define and save a maximum
of ninety-nine specific sets of run parameters, to recall and
reuse.
