Temperature control
Centrifuge is equipped with ecological refrigerating system with temperature control.
During centrifugation, there may appear differences in temperature on the display and temperature
of the samples in the rotor. It depends on thermal conductivity of the rotor, and samples,
centrifugation time, initial temperature of rotor and samples
Exemplary change of TEMP setting:
Press SET (to enter edit mode) –
appears.
Via
keys mark TEMP field
(highlighted).
Press SET.
Via
set value.
Confirm via SET key.
When chamber is being cooled,
symbol is
visible on the screen (blinking).
Initial cooling during centrifuging - FAST COOL
The parameters allowable to change at FAST COOL mode:
temperature (lower than current temperature shown by centrifuge)
In order to centrifuge reduced temperature samples (eg. storage in the
external refrigerator) centrifuge chamber, rotor and centrifuge container must
be pre-cooled to the predetermined temperature. It will cause minimalization
of temperature differences.
Initial cooling may be activated by FAST COOL key (lid must be closed – rotor
is spinning at FAST COOL mode)
When FAST COOL mode is active, cooling system automatically sets proper
parameters to obtain demanded temperature the fastest way.
It is possible to exit FAST COOL mode at any time by pressing STOP key.
