Intuitive touchscreen for faster programming

The touchscreen provides quick access to settings, saved programs, and alerts. Therefore, programming becomes faster with fewer menu steps. Moreover, saved programs support repeatability across users. As a result, operational errors decrease during peak workloads. Next, this supports efficient workflows with centrifuges laboratory.

Lighthouse mode with clear run visibility across the lab

The interface includes lighthouse mode with run status visible from across the lab. Therefore, you can monitor progress without standing at the unit. Moreover, time and a tracker bar are shown in an enlarged view. As a result, you can manage parallel tasks with fewer interruptions. Next, this helps in shared spaces with multiple users.

Alerts, alarms, and centrifuge health for guided action

End-of-run alerts are available in three volume-adjustable conditions. Therefore, signaling can match your lab environment. Moreover, a “centrifuge health” view shows clear graphical status with alarms and alerts. As a result, you quickly see what is happening and what to do next. Next, alarm messages provide direct user instructions for unexpected situations. Finally, alert messages cover non-dangerous cases with recommendations. Support reliability with service and maintenance and preventive maintenance.

Scheduling features to reduce downtime and energy costs

Scheduling features and preventive maintenance queues help reduce downtime. Therefore, issues are addressed before they disrupt work. Moreover, shutdown programming can extend compressor life and reduce energy costs. As a result, you can start the day with a pre-cooled centrifuge using a programmed compressor start-up. Next, workflows stay smooth when the lab opens. Align planning via preventive maintenance and service and maintenance.
