The Velocity 14 incorporates all the features and benefi ts of the Velocity 14R without the refrigeration thus resulting in
an even smaller footprint.
Smaller Size, More Space
The Velocity 14 accommodates the same rotors and capacity as the Velocity 14R. The absence of refrigeration further
reduces the footprint by at least 50% freeing up considerably more precious bench space.
Smart, Compact, 2-in-1 Design
The versatile design of the Velocity 14 offers the best of both worlds from the perspective of micro-volume and medium-volume centrifugation. The FA15A rotor is suffi ciently fast and yet accommodating for up to 24 x 1.5/2 ml tubes with a terminal velocity of 14,000 RPM (18,728 x g) whilst the FA15C rotor has suffi cient capacity for up to 6 x 50 ml tubes reaching an impressive terminal velocity of 14,000 RPM (20,290 x g)
Quick Set and forget Rotor System
Screwing or bolting rotors to the drive shaft is a thing of the past. Likewise lost spanners and rotor over tightening. With the Velocity 14 simply place the rotor on the drive shaft and that’s all. The auto lock and secure mechanism performs the rest. Once centrifugation is complete simply lift the rotor off the drive shaft. Quicker, easier, more effi cient and safer.
Auto rotor recognition
Automatic rotor recognition and confi rmation once centrifugation has commenced, including rotational speed calculation and optimum temperature control. Furthermore new rotors can be easily loaded onto the on-board database as they are introduced.
Fast Acceleration and Deceleration
The innovative high torque, drive technology effortlessly accelerates even the heaviest rotors to terminal velocity quickly and effi ciently. Even the heaviest rotors with a full load will achieve maximum velocity within a few minutes. Furthermore, 9 pre-set acceleration and 9 pre-set deceleration profi les ensure the best separation even for the most delicate density gradients
High imbalance tolerances
Innovative motor engineering and mounting including a fl exible drive shaft allow for greater imbalance tolerances, so much so that samples can be balanced simply with the naked eye. No more weighing just fi ll tubes or bottles to within 5mm of each other.

Safety is Paramount
The Velocity 14 offers many safety features in the unlikely event of an emergency such as:
Non-contact imbalance detection and shutdown based on the run profi le for each rotor across its entire speed range
rather than the inferior and conventional micro-switch detector.
> Guard barrier
> Dual lid electronic interlock
> Auto-hinge for improved sealing and door opening
> Over speed detection and shutdown
> Motor overheat detection and shutdown
User friendly operation and information rich display
Parameters are quickly and effortlessly inputted through the uncomplicated touch pad interface and displayed on the brightly backlit and easy to read LCD panel. The LCD panel concurrently displays all experimentation parameters including diagnostic information as it occurs. Furthermore, once centrifugation has commenced, a real time graphic profile of the centrifugation status is displayed.
Quiet Operation
Noise abating insulation in the console including lower noise fans combine to reduce the audible operating noise to ≤53 dB.
Liquid Seeping Prevention
A single continuous rubber cap with strong gasket, fi rmly seals the motor chamber opening and drive shaft to prevent liquid from seeping into the motor and electronic components. As additional back-up, a highly absorbent sponge positioned beneath the rubber cap soaks up any liquid or condensation which then evaporates during operation.
