Overview:
As domestic High-speed centrifuge With further technological advancements, the landscape of high-speed centrifuges is becoming increasingly diversified. High-speed centrifuges have also become indispensable equipment in the pharmaceutical industry. As a highly common device in the modern centrifugation field, high-speed batch centrifuges are the preferred choice for applications in molecular biology, cell culture separation, and clinical medicine. They boast an exceptionally high level of performance and have set new standards for the adaptability and processing capacity of centrifuges.
It is understood that Lu Xiangyi’s high-speed centrifuge boasts a maximum rotor speed of 21,000 r/min, a temperature range from -20℃ to +40℃, a temperature control accuracy of ±1℃, and a rotational speed accuracy of ±20 r/min. It is widely used in fields such as clinical medicine, biochemistry, genetic engineering, and immunology, and is an essential instrument for centrifugal separation in hospitals at all levels, research institutions, and higher education institutions.
High-speed centrifuges feature an attractive appearance, compact size, and light weight. They offer automatic control of operating time, simple operation, and convenient use. High-speed refrigerated centrifuges are primarily used to extract desired components from liquid mixtures. By adjusting the rotation speed according to the differing densities of each substance, the denser liquids settle at the bottom while the lighter ones float on top, thus separating the liquid into distinct layers and enabling the extraction of the pure substances I need.
The centrifuge is compact in size and operates with low noise. It features both micro-volume rotors and PCR strip-tube rotors, making it suitable for small-scale centrifugation in hospitals at all levels, research institutions, and university laboratories.
To maintain the good performance of a high-speed centrifuge, it’s important to take a multi-faceted approach:
Before use, be sure to refer to the high-speed centrifuge’s user manual and strictly follow the recommended operating procedures. Ensure that the machine is supplied with the correct ratio of water and air; proper mixing is essential. The lubricating oil used must be an approved brand, and its condition should be checked regularly.
Second, it’s crucial to closely monitor the centrifuge—continuously tracking both the vibration levels of the equipment and the temperature of its bearings. Regularly inspect the equipment for leaks and any unusual noises; if any issues are detected, address them immediately. The operating area must always be kept clean, and never place components directly on the floor. Cultivating good operational habits from the outset will help prevent mistakes caused by improper handling.
Again, only genuine accessories provided by the original equipment manufacturer should be used for service and maintenance. These accessories must be stored in a clean, secure, and dry location. It is essential to use only authentic accessories to ensure the promised performance and reliability and to further extend the service life of the equipment.
Afterward, during equipment operation, it is crucial to pay close attention to the operating principles. To use the equipment safely, one must start with daily maintenance and proper operating procedures. In using high-speed centrifuges, it’s essential to consistently adhere to the precautions outlined—only then can the machine’s operational efficiency be enhanced. In particular, it’s vital to use the high-speed centrifuge correctly according to its specific characteristics in order to maintain its optimal performance.
As is well known, the power supply issue for high-speed centrifuges is a challenging one. So, how exactly should we address the power supply problem of high-speed centrifuges?
First, a power failure is one of the reasons why the freezer fails to start and has poor cooling performance. Similar to the issue of a motor not turning, you should check the power supply and the fuse separately.
Second, a low voltage or a malfunction in the safety device can also prevent the refrigerator from starting. A low voltage may be caused by low grid voltage, excessive wiring on the distribution panel, or overly long power cords. When the power cord capacity is insufficient, not only does the voltage drop, but it can also lead to accidental incidents.
Third, improper installation can lead to poor performance. For example, if a high-speed centrifuge is installed in direct sunlight or in a poorly ventilated area, the radiator’s cooling efficiency will be reduced, or the radiator may become covered with dust—both of which can impair the refrigeration effect.
In addition, if the centrifuge tubes are unbalanced in weight, placed asymmetrically, or if there are foreign objects in the rotor holes of the centrifuge, these factors could all affect the performance of the high-speed centrifuge.
However, most of the above-mentioned causes are due to improper operating procedures. As long as you follow the correct operating practices in daily use, you can usually eliminate these abnormal phenomena. An important point to note is that when a high-speed centrifuge is in operation, if any unusual symptoms occur, you must immediately stop the machine and never force it to keep running, otherwise the centrifuge could be damaged.
The above is a brief introduction to high-speed centrifuges, covering in general how to maintain their performance and how to properly care for their power supply. However, high-speed centrifuges are sophisticated, high-tech devices.
