Fiberlite rotors added to centrifuge selection
Beckman Coulter announces the addition of two new Fiberlite rotors to its selection for the Avanti J series high-performance centrifuge systems
It measures the entire sample presented to the instrument, making it fully compliant to the ISO laser diffraction standard.
Among its other benefits: the system does not require cleaning between samples; it disperses cohesive powders, such as cement or AC fine test dust, without milling fragile materials; fully automated; provides automatic feed rate (obscuration) control.
The set point for the obscuration is user selectable between 4 and 8%.
The vacuum pressure can now be adjusted and controlled by the user through software menus.
Easily loaded into the optical bench, the Tornado DPS is immediately recognised by the software and configured in just a few seconds to allow for increased productivity. Request a free brochure from Beckman Coulter ...
