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.
