FAQ's of Thermo Fisher Scientific Sorvall Legend Micro 17 Microcentrifuge:
Q: How does the automatic lid lock system enhance safety during operation?
A: The automatic lid lock secures the chamber once the centrifuge is in use, preventing accidental openings and exposure to rotating samples. This feature significantly reduces the risk of injuries and maintains a safe laboratory environment.
Q: What is the process for setting the speed and timer on the Sorvall Legend Micro 17 Microcentrifuge?
A: Users can set the desired speed (up to 13,300 rpm) and timer range (from 1 to 99 minutes or continuous) using the digital LED display and touch keypad. Simply input the values and confirm your settings for precise, reproducible runs.
Q: When should I use the different acceleration and braking profiles?
A: The centrifuge offers 9 acceleration and 10 braking profiles to suit various sample types and experimental protocols. Select gentler profiles for sensitive samples to avoid disruption, or faster profiles for routine rapid separations.
Q: Where is the Sorvall Legend Micro 17 Microcentrifuge commonly used?
A: This microcentrifuge is widely utilized in clinical, research, and general laboratory environments-particularly in sample preparation, cell separation, and molecular biology applications.
Q: What benefits does the touch keypad operation provide?
A: The touch keypad simplifies parameter setting, enabling fast, precise adjustments with minimal training. This ergonomic feature enhances overall efficiency and reduces operator errors.
Q: How many samples can be processed at once with the included rotor?
A: The fixed angle rotor provided with the microcentrifuge accommodates up to 24 tubes (either 1.5 mL or 2.0 mL), allowing efficient batch processing of multiple samples in a single run.
Q: What type of maintenance is required to ensure optimal performance of the microcentrifuge?
A: Routine cleaning of the rotor chamber, lid, and keypad is recommended, along with periodic checks of the lid lock and digital controls. Always follow manufacturer guidelines for calibration and inspection schedules to maintain reliability.
