Rotor Temperature Compensation
Handling temperature-sensitive samples such as protein or gene, accurate temperature control is required. In fact, rotor temperature will be important factor. A rotor temperature control function can be chosen to monitor and maintain the rotor temperature at ideal level.


Pre-cooling
Generally, proteins are easily deactivated at normal temperature. Under typical conditions applying samples with high speed requires a long time to reach the desired low temperature. In such cases, pre-cooling enables the samples to reach a low temperature before the experiment, thus avoiding deactivation of valuable samples.


Alarm indicator and automatic stop functions
Various alarm indicators and automatic stop functions improve safety further and stop the operation immediately after activation in the case of an emergency. The 5500 model is equipped with an alarm indication function including imbalance detection, abnormally high temperature detection, speed sensor and temperature sensor fault detection. The rotor sensor detects whether the rotor is set correctly to the drive shaft (Patent pending). In addition, the unit is fitted with a circuit breaker is fitted.


Automatic rotor identification (Patent pending)
Rotor type is automatically identified and over-speed detection is enabled when a rotor is simply placed on the driver shaft.


Memory flashing function (Patent pending)
The memory flashing function makes the spin-down easy and simple by storing previous spinning time automatically, then recalling repeatedly. Pressing the flashing key, same operation whose spinning time is from 1 second to 90 seconds can be repeated.


g.sec integrator function
The g.sec integrator function optimizes the protocols in those cases where customers need to achieve exactly the same centrifugal effect. One can obtain the same effect just by setting the g.sec value in the 5500 model. The g.sec integrator function enables one to control centrifuge spins with the same centrifugal effect and to calculate g.sec value.


Acceleration/Deceleration (Three-level switching)
The 5500 model provides Three-level switching for both acceleration and deceleration, corresponding to application requirements. For example, in those cases where one must avoid whirring up the samples, a slow deceleration can be programmed so as to achieve the desired conditions and most accurate results.


5 channel memory settings
The memory setting function makes routine work easy and simple, storing centrifugal speed, RCF and time. It is possible to save, recall and operate the centrifugal condition.


Tachometer-port
The 5500 has a tachometer-port on its lid to check the actual speed. The validation of the speed sensor by measuring the actual speed is highly needed for stringent GMP requirements.


Auto interlock lid
Lid of 5500 can be opened and closed using one hand. To close the lid, push slightly and the lid locks automatically by an electrical interlock system. On the other hand, press the lid open key and the lid opens automatically after releasing the interlock and a newly designed gas spring produces smooth and quick opening.


Delayed start function
The operation automatically starts after the preset duration from pressing the START key. This function enables centrifuging of the fresh blood that is taken out at the time just when the erythrocytes coagulate.


Eco mode
To save the power, the display and refrigerator automatically turns off 10 minites after operation.
