Abstract
An energy monitoring arrangement that is operatively associated with a centrifuge instrument monitors the magnitude of applied accelerating energy that is used to accelerate a rotor and to interrupt the continued application of accelerating energy if the magnitude of the applied accelerating energy exceeds a predetermined reference energy value. Preferably, the net applied accelerated energy to the rotor is monitored and used in the comparison with the energy reference. The invention may also be used in a predictive manner to provide, early in the centrifugation run, an indication of the energy of a rotor at an operator-ordered set velocity.
