Product Information The
new Labnet Prism R is quickly becoming the benchmark in the
refrigerated microcentrifuge category. In spite of its remarkably small
footprint, the Prism R has a powerful brushless motor and cooling
capacity to spare. The new user-friendly LCD control panel provides
intuitive control over all operating parameters, including speed, time
and temperature. Speed can be set in rpm, up to 13,500 rpm in
increments of 100 rpm, or rcf, up to 17,135 x g in increments of 100 x
g. Operation of the centrifuge can be timed, from 0.5 to 99 minutes, or
continuous. A momentary spin function is activated by pressing and
holding the quick key. The powerful refrigeration system maintains
temperatures as low as -10°C and is designed to reach 4°C (from room
temperature) in less than 8 minutes. The brushless motor drive
quickly and effortlessly accelerates the rotor to set speed. A computer
designed isolation system ensures vibration free operation, even with a
slight imbalance. The Prism R is also equipped with an imbalance
detection system that automatically shuts down operation in the event of
a significant imbalance. Deceleration at the end of a run is attained
in less than 18 seconds, yet will not disrupt samples. The unique
design of the 24 place rotor allows easy access to the tops of sample
tubes. Individual tube slots in the solid aluminum rotor support the
tubes along their length and contain sample in the event of tube
failure. The rotor accepts 1.5/2.0ml tubes directly and smaller tubes
through the use of adapters, sold separately. An optional StripSpin
adapter snaps on to the top of the rotor for spinning 0.2ml tubes and
PCR strips. The rotor is seated on a tapered shaft which facilitates
easy removal of the rotor for cleaning and autoclaving.
