Density
This setting is useful for glass vessels. If the density of the liquid to be
centrifuged is higher than 1.2 g/cm
3
, the value must be adapted manually.
This will reduce the maximum possible final speed (see chapter 2.2.2.2 -
"
Density
"). A downward facing arrow ( ) will be displayed in the speed
field. Values between 1,2 and 10.0 g/cm
3
are possible.
Centrifugation monitoring
The centrifugation monitoring function enables the continuous monitoring of
the speed and runtime parameters during the centrifugation.
• Activate the centrifugation monitoring function by clicking.
NOTE
If the function is activated during a centrifugation run, the monitoring
process will not be started until the start of the next centrifugation run.
The centrifugation monitoring function compares the speed values of the
current run with the reference values that are stored in the control unit.
After every run, it issues a corresponding message. The runtime is
considered faulty if the centrifugation run had to be stopped prematurely.

NOTE
Using the centrifugation monitoring system in combination with the free
acceleration or deceleration curves may lead to unjustified error messages
in some cases.
