Biofuge 17 S
Biofuge 17 RSThe Biofuges 17S/17 RS.
The new high-speed microlter table top
ccentrituges from Heraeus Sepatech,
Microprocessor controlled by
Sepacontrol, the control center for
programmable centrifuges.
The Biotuge 17 $ (non-retrigerated) and
the Biotuge 17 RS (refrigerated) set new
standards in solving complex sepa-
ration tasks in research and routine
operations, in life sciences, medicine,
pharmacology and chemistry.
These instruments are the result of
decades of Heraeus Sepatech
‘centrifugation know-how; Europe's
umber one manufacturer of laboratory
centrifuges.
‘Accommodating the Heraeus Sepatech
high-performance rotor No. 8570 the
Biofuges 17 8/17 RS give access to
high-speed centrifugation.
Heraeus Sepatech offers a wide range
of rotors and accessories with these
new table top centrifuges. ~
‘A comprehensive package of top
performance, safely and reliabilly. This
package is supported by a globe-
spanning network of application
consultants and service specialists.

Unprecedented operating
convenience
The layout of the Sepacontrol panel was
made to create instant user confidence.
‘A convenience level that opens anew
era in communication-oriented
ceniritugation.
‘The optimal user guidance guarantees
perfect communication between the
operaior and the new Biofuges from the
first moment.
Sepacontrol, the control center for
programmable centrifuges: operates
monitors .. programs,
The major design focus was on user-
friendly, ergonomic arrangement of the
particular functional sections:
diagnostics LEDs
@ memory control
@ status displays
@ programming
perating buttons.
The key switch
This switch serves to protect the
programs from unauthorized mani-
pulations in one of the following three
ways
The first setting permits free access to
programming, the second enables call
‘access to any of the 32 different user
programs, the third permits only repeat
Use of the program loaded last.
The diagnostic LEDs
‘check lid” lights up when the lid is not
properly locked.
"imbalance" alerts you of unbalanced
rotor loading. At the same time the drive
shuts off automatically,
"system check’ signals a defect in the
electronic system,
"progr. enor" indicates operator
programming errors.
“overtemp.” means the preselected
temperature limit was exceeded”,
brushes” means commutator brushes
are worn and need to be replaced.
‘The memory contro!
By means of the storage control
hanaling of previously stored programs
is possible. By pressing the arrow keys
the complete line of all run parameters
of a specitic program will be displayed
in the status section. The yellow
“program” display indicales the number
of the program selected,
Any new programs established with the
help of the panel dialog may be
transferred into the program library.
The status displays
This section is clearly grouped into
acceleration and braking, speed and
rotor data, time and temperature’ The
‘select’ button serves to call the desired
value for each of these paramelers into
the display, wih the additional help of
instantly visible LEDs.
Programming
All settings required for programming
are done with the keys of the
programming section.
‘The white keys give ditect access to the
various display items.
The yellow ones serve to change the
displayed digits.
The blue “enter” button has to be
pressed to bank all entries in the
working memory. By means of a brief
touch of key “execute” the data will be
entered into the program library,
The operating buttons
To open the lid the “lid” button has to be
pressed.
By pressing "quick run” the centrituge
accelerates within the shortest time to
its maximum speed. AS soon as one
takes the finger off this bution, the run is
stopped.
With the “starv/stop"-button the Biofuges
wil be set into operation and it serves
also to stop the centrifuge run manually
Bictuge 17 RS onlyThe adjacent ilustration shows a small
section of the wide accessory range
comprising not less than 13 rotors,
which operated in the
Bioluges 17 S and 17 RS.
There are fixed angle rotors, swing-out
rotors and continuous flow rotors as
well as a cyto-rotor. This means that one
only "drive" can cope with a multitude of
applications ~ ranging from micro-tube
Centrifugation to the spinning of large
volumes.
Sealed buckets are available for the
safe centrifugation of toxic or in
sample mater
Accommodating not less t
racks, the drum rotor enables the
operator to spin a very large number of
different samples per run,
The colour coding affords an optical
means to quickly the right tube

The Cyto-rotor, too, can be operated in
the Biotuges 17 S/17 RS. (Far further

Aurther application of the Biotuges

Sepatech offer two types of continuous
flow rotors, both ensuring continuous
