This bucket, which has been tested and certified by the Health Protection Agency (HPA, UK) to be compliant with the International Standard (Annex AA of the IEC 61010-2-020), meets requirements for biohazard safety.

It adopted a hermetically sealed structure equivalent to

bucket or rotor designed and tested in accordance with the International Standard (Annex AA of the IEC 61010-2-020) to offer excellent sealing performance.

User Friendly and Safety Features

Flex-Spin System for safer and more efficient operation

Innovative Flex-Spin System employed to maintain safe and efficient centrifugal operation allows a margin of error and eye-balancing of sample tubes.

^*

Some rotors are excepted.

Non-chlorine, ozone-friendly refrigeration medium which has zero ozone layer destruction coefficients is adopted.

Flex-Spin Drive

The Flex-Spin Drive features a flexible motor shaft that equalizes minor imbalances without damaging the centrifuge or triggering the imbalance protection system. This allows excellent tolerance for minor differences in sample volumes.
One-push rotor locking knob
With a single knob push, the rotor can be quickly and securely fixed.
- ^*
  
  Some rotors are excepted.
- To mount the rotor
  
  Place the locking knob on the shaft and secure the rotor to the shaft by pressing the red snap on the locking knob down the shaft until it “clicks”.
- To dismount the rotor
  
  Pull the locking knob out from the shaft, while holding down the red snap on the top.

Intuitive Display and Control Panel

1Easy-to-see LCD monitor display shows various information including remaining run time, error messages, rotor types in use and records of centrifugal operation. The monitor can display in English or Japanese.

^*

Indication displays on the control panel in the photo is different from displays of actual operation.

2Dual color LED display allows the user to monitor the operation status just by looking the display; red indicates that the rotor is spinning while green indicates the rotor is stopped.

3Popular user-friendly Jog Dial equipped with an <ENTER> button on top enables setting to be changed quickly and more surely.

Three-step acceleration and three-step and natural deceleration

Initial values for acceleration and deceleration characteristics are set from 0 to 500rpm, however, they can be varied up to maximum speed in 100rpm increments by function settings.

Convenient Flashing Function

For quick spin-down.
