Function |
The body of the ALC International 55702 centrifuge is made of plastic, with a cover for access to the rotor, which comprises 4 wells in which the tubes (15ml or 50ml) are placed via adaptors.
An adjustment knob controls the rotation speed and a second knob controls the time in minutes.
A needle dial indicates the number of revolutions per minute (RPM). Four push buttons are used to open the cover, power up the machine, and switch the machine on and off. |
