SPEED M/s
The “S” (Speed) value can be varied by using the
and
Arrow buttons. “S” (Speed) adjustment ranges
from 0.8 m/s to 8 m/s in increments of 0.15 m/s.
When the desired value is reached, the user can go to the next desired variable or go back up to Program
to begin the run.
The “S” (Speed) of the Bead Ruptor is displayed in m/s, which is a specific representation of the forces applied
to the sample, due to the velocity of the tube carriage movement, and the speed and geometry of the mo-
tion. Using RPM, for example, is not representative of the bead movement and processing energy because
RPM only indicates the motor speed.
ADJUSTING THE RUN TIME
Use the
and
arrow keys to highlight the “T”- Time option.
