Abstract
Lowering of process quality of a sample is prevented even when a rotor is slowly decelerated taking a long time upon finishing a centrifugal process. A centrifuge having a steady operation mode of rotating a rotor at an inputted steady rotation speed and a deceleration stop mode of stopping the rotor by deceleration. When a remaining time of the steady operation mode is within a stop preparation time, a target controlled temperature of the rotor chamber is set from a first target controlled temperature to a second target controlled temperature that is higher than the first target controlled temperature. By setting the target controlled temperature of the rotor chamber high before switching to the deceleration stop mode, temperature of the rotor chamber is controlled to be close to a set temperature of the rotor and thus excessive cooling of a sample loaded to the rotor can be prevented.
