Characteristics of the VWR MICRO STAR 17 / 17R
The set speed is reached within seconds. The maintenance-free induction motor ensures quiet and
low-vibration operation even at high speeds, and guarantees a very long lifetime.
The user-friendly control panel makes it easy to pre-set the speed, RCF value, run time, and
temperature. You can choose between the display of speed and RCF or the entry mode.
These settings can be changed even while the centrifuge is running.
With the help of the key , you can also centrifuge a sample for just a few seconds, if called for.
The VWR MICRO STAR 17 / 17R is equipped with various safety features:
• The housing is made of impact-resistant plastic and the interior of armor steel.
• The lid is equipped with a view port and a lock.
• The lid of the centrifuge can only be opened while the centrifuge is switched on and the rotor has
come to a complete stop. The centrifuge cannot be started until the lid has been closed properly.
• Lid emergency release: For emergencies only, e.g. during power failures (see “Mechanical
emergency lid release” on page 7-2)
