Centrifuge Function and Safety Features
The user interface has a digital display, which can be toggled to show either actual centrifuge values
or user-entered setup values, knobs for parameter entry, and touch keys. Diagnostic messages on
the control panel will light to alert the operator to conditions that may need attention.
Safety Features
Avanti J-26XP centrifuges have been designed and tested to operate safety indoors at altitudes up
to 2 000 m (6 562 ft).
Safety features include the following.
•
An electromechanical door lock system prevents operator contact with spinning rotors and
prevents run initiation unless the door is shut and locked. The door locks when
START
is
pressed, or when the
POWER
switch is turned off.
•
A steel casing surrounds the rotor chamber to provide operator protection in the unlikely event
of a rotor mishap.
•
An automatic rotor identification system detects which rotor is installed and prevents the rotor
from running above its maximum rated speed.
•
An imbalance detector monitors the system during operation, causing automatic shutdown if
rotor loads are severely out of balance.
Housing and Door
The instrument control housing is made of aluminum and molded structural foam. The door and
structural-foam cover panels are finished with polyurethane enamel. The control panel is covered
by a protective overlay made of coated polycarbonate.
The door is opened by stepping on a foot pedal, which is located at the bottom right front of the
instrument. The door is hinged at the back left to open at a 60-degree angle to the centrifuge side
panels, providing clearance for loading and unloading of the centrifuge.
In the event of a power failure, the door can be manually unlocked for sample recovery (see
Rotor Chamber
The rotor chamber is made of stainless steel to resist corrosion. A rubber gasket around the chamber
opening ensures sealing. (Instrument gaskets have not been qualified as bioseals for aerosol
containment.)
Drive
The drive spindle is directly driven by a brushless, high-torque, switched-reluctance motor. The
instrument’s resilient suspension minimizes disturbance of the sample during acceleration and
deceleration, and reduces damage to the drive spindle if an imbalance occurs during centrifugation.
