Centrifuge Function and Safety Features
Centrifuge Function
The Avanti J-26S XPI is a refrigerated centrifuge that generates centrifugal forces required for a
wide variety of applications. Together with the Beckman Coulter rotors designed for use in this
centrifuge, applications include:
•
Routine processing such as sample preparations, pelleting, extractions, purifications,
concentrations, phase separations, and spin column and spin filter centrifugations.
•
Rapid sedimentation of protein precipitates, large particles, and cell debris.
•
Preparation of subcellular organelles such as mitochondria, nuclei, chloroplasts, and crude
microsomes.
•
Separation of blood cells and cellular components.
•
Pelleting of prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells.
•
Gradient separation, for example, Ficoll-Hypaque and Percoll.
•
Nucleic acid precipitation.
•
Virus isolation.
•
Bacteriophase isolation.
The Avanti J-26S XPI centrifuge is microprocessor-controlled, providing interactive operation.
*
The instrument design features a brushless switched-reluctance drive motor,

an automatic rotor
identification system, FRS (friction reduction system), vacuum control circuitry, temperature
control system, and programmable acceleration and deceleration times.
The user interface consists of a separate Actual Value Display and Setup Screen, a numerical
keypad, and other system control and parameter entry touch keys. User messages on the Setup
Screen alert the operator to conditions that may need attention.
