The controller prevents operation of the controlled device without simultaneous contact by a user of both the single safety sensor and a respective one of the plurality of control icons.

Systems that prevent operation of continuous flow ultra-centrifugation systems without simultaneous contact of a single safety sensor and a control icon

A continuous flow centrifuge system is provided. The system includes a rotor, a stator, a stator housing, upper and lower bearing plates, upper and lower bearings, first and second snap rings, and lip seal. The upper bearing rotatably secures a shaft of the rotor in the upper bearing plate. The first snap ring secures the upper bearing to the rotor shaft. The lip seal is over the upper bearing and forms a rotatable seal with the upper bearing plate. The second snap ring secures the lip seal to an inner diameter of the upper bearing plate. The upper and lower bearing plates are secured to the stator housing so that the rotor is operatively aligned with the stator.
