5. Description of the centrifuge
The centrifuge SMC 6plus is a table-top centrifuge with horizontal rotor designed for continuous operation.
The horizontal rotor contained in the standard delivery schedule and the tube holders can accommodate up
to 6 specimen tubes. The special horizontal rotor facilitates a fast and simple specimen charge and complete
horizontal separation.
A lid safety switch prevents the centrifuge from operating when the lid is open. The yellow “LATCH” indicator
at the front of the centrifuge lights up as soon as the lid has been correctly locked. In addition to the lid safety
switch, the SMC 6plus is equipped with a “0 rpm” lid locking system. This safety system keeps the lid closed at
all times (even in the event of a power failure) and ensures that the lid can be unlocked only when the rotor has
come to a standstill.
