| The PowerSpin™ MX spins at speeds of 1000 - 3400 RPM, in
increments of 100 RPM. Horizontal swing-out rotor provides high
G-force and flat separation meniscus line. Tube Holders are
"Vertical at Rest" to allow use of Cover Slips for Fecal
Protocols.
The all digital push button front panel makes it easy to select
or modify speed and run time even while wearing gloves. The
PowerSpin™ MX also features a two line digital display that
shows status, time, speed (RPM), and RCF (g).
Each centrifuge is extremely quiet at 50 dB. The rubber shock
absorbing suction cup feet hold the unit in place resulting in a
quieter run with less vibration. Integrated True Zero RPM Safety
System prevents lid from being opened while the rotor is in
motion.

RPM = Revolutions Per Minute
RCF = Relative Centrifugal Force (also known as "G-Force")
Centrifuge RCF Calculation: RCF = 1.12 x R(mm) x Krpm x Krpm
R: Centrifuge rotor radius (mm)
Krpm: Centrifuge speed in thousands
Example: If rotor radius is 102mm, speed is 3.4Krpm (3400rpm), then RCF =
1.12 x 102 x 3.4 x 3.4 = 1320g
