Features of Optima™ XPN
- Large Touch-screen Display Easy to read and navigate. Viewable from across the lab. Intuitive graphical interface with on-screen help. Multilingual software for error-free operation. * Improved Power Tolerance Maintains runs during power fluctuations. Handles a wider tolerated range of 180 VAC to 264 VAC. Tracks power interruption data to convey if parameters remained within an acceptable range. * Security and tracking features Manage rotor life by serial number. Track detailed usage history. Password protection and electronic signatures help you maintain chain of custody and compliance. * Remote Monitoring and Control Saves time. Start, stop, and monitor from computer or smart phone. Receive diagnostic alerts via e-mail. * Real-time Run Graphing Plots speed and temperature over time, allowing you to track and record progress. * Powerful On-board Simulation and Calculation Tools Saves time and samples. Proprietary software optimizes protocols before running to ensure maximum efficiency. Quickly perform common calculations and conversions. * Energy Efficient Regenerative braking returns energy to local circuit reducing utility costs. Highly efficient thermoelectric cooling results in lower power consumption. Uses the same amount of power as a 60-watt light bulb while idling. * Quiet-drive Technology Designed for lowest drive noise – this is the quietest floor model on the market. Operates at less than 51dBA. * Total System Design The Optima XPN, its rotors and its labware are designed, manufactured, and tested as an integrated system to ensure optimal performance and safety for your lab.
