Calculator
The calculator helps ensure that the same results are obtained using different rotors.
The calculator can calculate a time that allows the same overall forces to be applied to the sample using the
currently set speed as was applied by a compared rotor with its specified values of speed and time.
The rotor selection function allows selection of the rotors and, where available for the rotor, of the bucket types.
The rotor information area displays the values for the selected rotor.
The value conversion area contains 4 different values on each side.
1.
Rotation Speed in RPM
This field displays the maximum speed of the currently selected rotor. The value can be changed for both
rotors.
2.
Time
The run time for rotor 1 can be entered here. No time can be entered for rotor 2 since the time for this is
calculated from the speeds of rotors 1 and 2 and the run time of rotor 1.
3.
Centrifuge Speed in Relative Centrifugal Force (RCF)
4.
The K Factor
Press Load Settings
to set the speed and run time as the current set values. Once the settings are loaded, the
main screen is displayed again.
