Auto rotor recognition

Microchip technology allows for automatic rotor recognition and confirmation once centrifugation has commenced, including rotational speed calculation and optimum temperature control. Furthermore new rotors can be easily loaded onto the on-board database as they are introduced.

Fast Acceleration and Deceleration

The innovative, heavy duty, frequency conversion motor is purposely designed to handle the heaviest of rotors with abundant power output for smooth, quick and efficient acceleration to terminal velocity under fully laden conditions. Furthermore, 9 pre-set acceleration and 9 pre-set deceleration profiles ensure the right conditions are met for the most precious and vibration sensitive samples.

Powerful Refrigeration

A powerful non -CFC compressor cools the chamber quickly whilst maintaining the rotor at set temperature during centrifugation. Furthermore, twin cooling fans – one each for the compressor and motor respectively – dissipate heat quickly to improve cooling efficiency and extend motor life.

Actual sample (rotor) temperature

Measurement and Display The temperature displayed on the LCD panel during centrifugation is that of the rotor (and hence samples) and neither the temperature of the chamber nor the temperature at the sensor. This allows for more precise, reproducible and efficient experimentation. Safety is Paramount The Velocity 10R offers many safety features in the unlikely event of an emergency such as:

Non-contact imbalance detection and shutdown based on the run profi le for each rotor across its entire speed range rather than the inferior and conventional micro-switch detector. Guard barrier Dual lid electronic interlock Auto-hinge for improved sealing and door opening Over speed detection and shutdown Motor overheat detection and shutdown.
