Optional adapters accept common blood collection and culture tubes, and the rotor lifts out for cleaning. Speed is set from 400 to 3,500 rpm (1,500 × g) in 100 rpm or 100 rcf steps, with 9 second acceleration and 25 second deceleration. The lid locks until the rotor stops, and imbalance detection halts the run automatically if vibration is sensed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKey features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e400–3,500 rpm, max 1,500 × g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e8-place rotor for 10 mL and 15 mL tubes;
