Model CS150NX
Capacity 000?a?150000 rpm
CAT No 5720131511
Application Centrifuge
Our micro ultracentrifuges from the CS-(F)NX Series, achieve extraordinarily high speeds of up to 1,050,000 x g (140,000 rpm). With these speeds, combined with fast acceleration and deceleration ramps, our micro ultracentrifuges ensure speedy separation of samples such as nucleic acids, proteins, protein complexes, vesicles and viruses in vessels between 0.2 a 30 mL.
Unmatched Speed and PrecisionAchieve centrifugal speeds up to 150,000 rpm and an RCF of 1,050,000 x g for rapid and precise separation of small-volume samples. The CS150NX ensures high resolution and efficiency for demanding laboratory protocols in clinical, pharmaceutical, and research settings.
Advanced Safety and User-Friendly OperationSafety comes first with features like automatic imbalance detection and lid interlock. The intuitive digital touch panel and spacious LCD display provide easy access to controls, while multiple acceleration/deceleration profiles and program memory help streamline lab workflows.
Temperature Control and VersatilityBuilt-in refrigeration maintains chamber temperatures from -20C to +40C, preserving sensitive samples. The centrifuge supports a variety of fixed angle and swinging bucket rotors, accommodating up to 24 microtubes and adapting to a broad spectrum of laboratory procedures.
FAQ's of Eppendorf Centrifuge CS150NX - Micro ultracentrifuge:
Q: How do I operate the Eppendorf Centrifuge CS150NX for optimal sample separation?
A: To operate the CS150NX, load your samples into compatible rotors, secure the lid, and select your desired settings on the touch digital control panel. You can adjust speed, temperature, timer (from 1 minute to 99 hours 59 minutes or continuous mode), and choose from 9 acceleration/deceleration profiles. Store favorite settings using programmable memory for efficiency.
Q: What types of samples and applications is the CS150NX best suited for in the laboratory?
A: The CS150NX is designed for separating small volume biological and chemical samples, making it ideal for clinical diagnostics, biochemical analyses, cell fractionation, and pharmaceutical research. It accommodates up to 24 x 1.5/2.0 ml tubes, facilitating a variety of sample processing protocols.
Q: When should I use the built-in refrigeration feature, and how does it benefit sensitive samples?
A: Engage the built-in refrigeration (adjustable from -20C to +40C) when processing heat-sensitive or volatile samples. Maintaining low temperatures during centrifugation protects biological molecules from degradation, ensuring reliable experimental outcomes.
Q: Where can the CS150NX be installed, and what are the space requirements?
A: The CS150NX's compact dimensions (38 x 60 x 33 cm) make it suitable for benchtop installation in clinical, research, pharmaceutical, and biochemical laboratories. Ensure the unit is placed on a stable, level surface with adequate ventilation for consistent, safe operation.
Q: What safety features are included, and how do they enhance laboratory operations?
A: Safety is prioritized through automatic imbalance detection and a secure lid interlock system, which prevent the centrifuge from operating under unsafe conditions. These features minimize the risk of accidents and protect both users and samples.
Q: How are programs managed, and what advantage does program memory offer?
A: You can store and recall up to 99 unique programs on the large LCD display. This feature facilitates quick setup for frequently repeated protocols, reducing errors and saving valuable laboratory time.
Q: What is the maintenance process for the CS150NX?
A: Routine maintenance involves cleaning the corrosion-resistant stainless steel chamber with appropriate lab disinfectants, inspecting the rotor chamber (polypropylene), and verifying the integrity of safety features. Regular checks ensure long-term reliability and safe operation.
