Why is refrigerated centrifuge used?

Why is refrigerated centrifuge used?

Refrigerated centrifuges are used for samples that need a consistent range of temperature. With such centrifuges therefore; it is essential that they run at maximum speeds while still maintaining a consistent temperature. For the most part, the temperature range of refrigerated centrifuges is between -20 and -40c.

How do you store a centrifuge?

Never locate centrifuges in corridors or administrative spaces. Store all fixed-angle vertical tube and near-vertical tube rotors upside down, with the lids or plugs removed. Store swinging bucket rotors with the bucket caps removed. Store all rotors in a dry environment—not in the centrifuge.

What is bench top centrifuge?

A staple of all laboratory environments, tabletop centrifuges (sometimes referred to as benchtop centrifuges or simply lab centrifuges) facilitate harvesting and separating particulates in suspension.

What is refrigerated centrifuge?

Refrigerated Centrifuge is a high speed centrifuge for medium capacity needs. It allows for molecular applications in tubes up to 250 mL and offers additional swing–bucket and fixed–angle rotors as well as deep well plate capacity for increased versatility.

Should centrifuge be left open?

Leave the centrifuge lid open. The rotor chamber and the rotor shaft should simply be wiped with a moist cloth. Please clean your rotor using a neutral cleaning liquid. This will protect the rotor and prolong its service life.

What should not be done when using centrifuge?

Centrifuge Operation

1. Do not leave centrifuge until full operating speed is reached and appears to be running safely without incident.
2. Stop centrifuge immediately if you notice any unusual noises or shaking.
3. To prevent rotor failure, do not exceed maximum speed and maximum mass limits for the rotor.

What is benchtop centrifuge used for?

Space-saving fixed- and variable-speed benchtop or tabletop centrifuges are used for applications including tissue culture, protein work, DNA/RNA research, and cell harvesting. Although spinning is used to achieve separation in all centrifuges, the rotor’s rpm only indicates the power of the motor.

What is cold centrifuge?

Refrigerated laboratory centrifuges temperature ranges as wide as -20C – 40C, making them perfect for DNA, RNA, PCR or antibody analysis. A refrigerated laboratory centrifuge can obtain rotational speeds of over 30,000 rpm, and a relative centrifugal force (RCF) of over 65,000 x g.
