Safety protection functions and experimental safety assurance of benchtop high speed centrifuge As a commonly used separation equipment in the laboratory, the safety performance of benchtop high speed centrifuge is crucial. In order to ensure the safety of experimental personnel and equipment, benchtop high speed centrifuge is equipped with a variety of safety protection functions.
First of all, benchtop high speed centrifuge is usually equipped with an electronic door lock system. This function ensures that the cover cannot be opened at will when the centrifuge is running, thereby preventing personal injury caused by the centrifuge tube flying out. Only when the centrifuge stops completely will the electronic door lock be unlocked, and then the cover can be safely opened to take out the sample.
Secondly, the overspeed protection function is another important safety feature of benchtop high speed centrifuge. When the speed of the centrifuge exceeds the preset safety range, the overspeed protection system will automatically start to slow down or stop the centrifuge to prevent equipment damage or safety accidents caused by excessive speed.
In addition, benchtop high speed centrifuge also has an unbalance protection function. During the centrifugation process, if the sample loading is unbalanced, the centrifuge will vibrate violently. The unbalance protection system can monitor this vibration in real time and automatically adjust the speed or stop the centrifugation to prevent equipment damage or danger.
In addition to the above safety protection functions, benchtop high speed centrifuges are usually equipped with safety measures such as overtemperature protection, overload protection, and emergency stop buttons. Overtemperature protection can prevent the centrifuge from being damaged due to overheating, and overload protection can ensure that the centrifuge operates within the rated power range to avoid overload. The emergency stop button allows experimenters to quickly stop the centrifuge in an emergency to ensure safety.
In order to ensure experimental safety, the following points should be noted when using benchtop high speed centrifuge: First, before the experiment, the power supply, rotor, centrifuge tube and other components of the centrifuge should be carefully checked to ensure that the equipment is in good condition; second, when loading the sample, the sample should be balanced to avoid excessive vibration; finally, during the centrifugation process, the operating procedures should be strictly followed, and the cover should not be opened at will or other dangerous operations should not be performed.
In summary, the safety protection functions of the benchtop high speed centrifuge include electronic door lock, overspeed protection, imbalance protection, overtemperature protection, overload protection, and emergency stop button, etc. These functions jointly ensure the safety of experimenters and equipment, and provide a strong guarantee for the smooth progress of scientific research.
