Question

The Haraeus centrifuge is not used for volume above 10 L.

(a) True

(b) False

The question was posed to me in a national level competition.

Enquiry is from Fermentation Laboratory topic in division Equipping a Fermentation Laboratory, the Design and Preparation of Media for Bioprocesses of Fermentation Technology

Answer 1

Correct option is (a) True

To explain I would say: The Haraeus continuous flow centrifuge is used only for volume below 10 L as the capacity of the centrifuge is smaller and it also has a very low flow rate of 10 L/h. That is why it is not suitable to use it with more than 10 L of volume.
