Product Description
| Brand | ESCO |
| Model | Versati |
| Capacity | 100800 x g |
| CAT No. | MCR-88-8 |
| Application | Centrifuge |
A refrigerated centrifuge is a laboratory equipment used for the separation of microliter temperature-sensitive heterogeneous mixtures or samples. This device works by spinning the samples loaded in a rotor at high speed. It undergoes a centrifugation process which involves the use of centrifugal force for the separation of particles or macromolecules.
Advanced Refrigeration and Precision ControlMaintain optimal conditions for sensitive samples with a temperature range from -20C to +40C. The ESCO Versati Micro Centrifuge comes with a rapid pre-cool function and programmable profiles, making it easy to execute complex protocols while preserving sample quality.
Efficient and Quiet OperationOperate at maximum speeds up to 15,000 rpm and achieve RCF values up to 21,380 x g-all with minimal noise (<56 dB). The ergonomically designed interface, large LCD, and digital controls provide easy, reliable, and convenient use for routine or research applications.
FAQ's of ESCO Versati Micro Refrigerated Centrifuge:
Q: How does the pre-cool function benefit laboratory workflows?
A: The pre-cool function rapidly brings the centrifuge chamber to the set temperature before loading samples. This ensures temperature-sensitive samples are kept stable right from the start, reducing thermal fluctuations and preserving sample integrity during rapid or prolonged centrifugation.
Q: What is the process for operating the ESCO Versati Micro Refrigerated Centrifuge?
A: Simply load up to 24 microtubes (1.5/2.0 ml each), close the lid, and select desired parameters-such as speed, run time, temperature, and acceleration/deceleration profile-using the intuitive digital controls on the large backlit LCD. Safety features like lid lock and imbalance detection operate automatically.
Q: Where can the ESCO Versati Micro Refrigerated Centrifuge be used?
A: This centrifuge is suitable for laboratories in molecular biology, biotechnology, clinical research, and broader life science applications, thanks to its precise temperature control, high performance, and multi-sample capacity.
Q: When should users utilize the timer and continuous run modes?
A: The timer function (1-99 minutes) is ideal for scheduled centrifugation tasks requiring precise timing, while the continuous run mode is beneficial for extended protocols or when sample volume or process requirements dictate longer spin times.
Q: What safety features are incorporated in this centrifuge?
A: Safety is enhanced by a secure lid lock, automatic lid opening after a run, and an imbalance detection system that halts operation if an imbalance is detected, ensuring user protection and equipment reliability.
Q: How does the centrifuge ensure gentle acceleration and deceleration of samples?
A: The ESCO Versati offers 10 programmable acceleration and deceleration profiles, allowing users to tailor the speed ramp-up and ramp-down to specific sample needs, minimizing the risk of sample disruption or damage.
