______________
* During transient conditions, such as acceleration and deceleration, rotor temperature may be outside this range. Refer to applicable rotor manuals
for specific rotor operating range information.
†
To reach temperatures above ambient, the centrifuge is dependent on the frictional heat generated inside the chamber during operation. At low
run speeds or low ambient temperatures, the centrifuge may not be able to achieve some higher temperatures.
