The autonomy that this equipment gives to the user optimises the laboratory routine by the personalization of the work cycles. These particularities also ensure process traceability and the assurance that no parameter is uncontrolled. Its refrigeration system allows it to maintain the minimum temperature of the chamber below 4°C regardless of the type of rotor and the speed selected.

Features Ortoalresa Centrifuge Consul 22R :

TFT color touch screen, visible from more than 3 m :

• Shows RPM and RCF, time, temperature, acceleration/deceleration values (PCBS) and unbalancing location system (ULS).
• Speed programming in 10 RPM/10 xg steps.
• Real RCF values on screen based in accessories configuration.
• Count up/down from “0” or at “set RPM/RCF” for test reproducibility.
• Timer countdown/up from “0” or at “set RPM/ RCF” for reproducible tests.
• Timer from 1 min to 99 hours programmable in 1 sec. steps and hold position.
• PCBS: Progressive controlled acceleration and braking system up to 175 selectable ramps that prevents sample homogenization after separation.
• ULS: Unbalancing location system indicating on the screen the number of the bucket which produces the unbalance switch off.
• 40 programmable memories, with protection under password.
• Several acoustic and visual messages warning the user the device situation.
