Quick Set Rotor System
With the Velocity 14 / 14R Pro simply
place the rotor on the drive shaft and that's all. The auto lock and secure
mechanism performs the rest. Once centrifugation is complete simply lift the rotor
off the drive shaft.
Auto Rotor Recognition
Microchip technology allows for
automatic recognition of rotor 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 high torque, drive
technology effortlessly accelerates even the heaviest rotors to terminal
velocity quickly and efficiently. Even the heaviest rotors with a full load
will achieve maximum velocity within a few minutes. Besides, 9 pre-set
acceleration and 9 pre-set deceleration profiles ensure
the right conditions are set for the
most precious of samples including density gradients.
High Imbalance Tolerances
Innovative motor engineering and
mounting including a flexible drive shaft allow for greater imbalance
tolerances, so much so that samples can be balanced simply with the naked eye.
No more weighing, just fill tubes or bottles to within 5mm of each other.
Powerful Refrigeration (Velocity 14R
Pro)
A powerful non-CFC compressor cools the
chamber quickly whilst maintaining the rotor at set temperature during
centrifugation. 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 (Velocity 14R Pro)
The temperature displayed on the LCD
panel during centrifugation is that of the rotor (and hence samples) and not
the temperature of the chamber nor the temperature at the sensor to allow for
more precise, reproducible and efficient experimentation.
Safety Features
· Non-contact imbalance detection and shutdown based on the run profile 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
User Friendly Operation and Information
Rich Display
Parameters are quickly and effortlessly
inputted through the uncomplicated touch pad interface and displayed on the
brightly backlit and easy to read LCD panel. The LCD panel concurrently
displays all experimentation parameters including diagnostic information as it
occurs.
Quiet Operation
Noise abating insulation in the console
including lower noise fans combine to reduce the audible operating noise to
53dB (58 dB for V14R).
