Description
General description
The Sorvall WX Ultra series ultracentrifuges are designed and manufactured based on our long
experience in the development of centrifuges; they are easy to use and highly reliable. Features include
the following:
1. Maximum speed of 100,000 rpm (802,006 x g)
2. Control panel is simple with easy key operation and easy-to-see liquid crystal screen.
3. The displayed language can be switched over between English and Japanese.
4. The real-time control (RTC) feature enables setting a start time or a finish time, thus letting you
run your machine at a desired date and time.
5. Centrifugal force (RCFmax and RCFavg) can be displayed and set.
6. Twenty varieties of nine stepped modes can be programmed for a wide range of applications.
7. Various alarms notify users of causes and necessary actions when fault conditions are detected
allowing easier and quicker troubleshooting.
8.
Space saving design. The installation area required is 0.81 m2 (90 x 90 cm) pr 9.0 ft2 (3.0 x 3.0 ft). Lower
top deck makes it easy to install and remove the rotor.
9. Low noise level makes the ultracentrifuge suitable for use in any laboratory.
10. Samples can be easily balanced visually.
11. CFC-free thermoelectric cooling system with greater cooling capacity.
Advanced features (options)
The options of the Sorvall WX Ultra series ultracentrifuges are: Compass Software, Lockout Kit, and a
Printer.
The Compass Software is a calculation/simulation system for centrifuge support that is compatible
with
Windows
R 2000 / XP Professional. Compass Centrifugation software helps determine appropriate run
conditions prior to starting centrifugal separation, and calculates optimum centrifuge and rotor run
conditions for materials in which proper run conditions are unknown. For more information on this
please consult the Compass Operator's Manual.
The Lockout Kit limits centrifuge access to a group of registered users (up to 40) which is controlled by
lab managers/supervisors (up to 3). For more information on this see page 2-95, Lockout.
The printer provides hard copy reports of information maintained in the centrifuge including: Set and
actual run conditions, rotor use, programmed memory contents, and others. For more
information on
this see page 2 - 89, Print Utilities.
