Spectrafuge 24D Digital Microcentrifuge

Advanced performance and technology

Labnet's new Spectrafuge 24D combines innovations such as a unique, easy access rotor, exclusive multi-flow air
cooling system and high performance drive. In addition, the 24D features a digital microprocessor that precisely
regulates all aspects of operation. Despite all of its upgrades, this newest member of the Spectrafuge family main-
tains the tradition of being the most economical centrifuge in its class.

❑ Intuitive control system

Two "smart" knobs are used to control all operating parameters, while speed and time values are shown digitally
on large displays. Switching from rpm to g-force is accomplished by pressing the speed control knob. Turning
the knob allows the speed value to be set quickly and easily. Run times from 30 seconds to 30 minutes (or
continuous) are set with the timer knob. Pressing the timer knob starts operation. For quick spins, this knob can
be pressed and held, and elapsed time is shown on the display.

❑ Smooth operation

The powerful, brushless motor in the Spectrafuge 24D quickly and effortlessly accelerates the rotor to set speed.
A computer designed isolation system allows for vibration free operation, even with a slight imbalance. A detec­tor shuts down the centrifuge in the case of a significant imbalance. Deceleration at the end of a run is very fast,
yet will not disrupt samples. Once the rotor has come to a complete stop, the lid automatically unlocks.

❑ Multi-flow air cooling system

A specially designed air cooling system passes ambient air over both the top and bottom of the rotor as well as
through the motor chamber of the Spectrafuge 24D . Air enters the centrifuge through two intake vents on the
back of the housing and is then circulated in multiple directions to maximize cooling. The result is a cool running
microcentrifuge that keeps samples close to ambient temperature, even during extended runs at maximum speed.
This airflow design also helps to reduce operating noise, making the centrifuge exceptionally quiet. For samples
that require below ambient temperatures, the Spectrafuge 24D may be used in a cold room.

❑ Innovative rotor design

The unique design of the 24 place rotor allows easy access to the
tops of the sample tubes. Individual tube slots in the solid
aluminum rotor support the tubes along their length and contain
samples in the event of tube failure. The rotor accepts 1.5/2.0ml
tubes directly and smaller tubes through the use of adapters, sold
separately. An optional StripSpin adapter snaps on top of the
rotor for spinning 0.2ml tubes and strips. The rotor is seated on
a tapered shaft which facilitates easy removal of the rotor for
cleaning and autoclaving.
