User Comments
* Suggested categories for commentary include: reliability, repair ease, whether or not components are easily replaceable, cost, and overall quality of design.
- Energy-use data was obtained using an ElitePro power meter over a week-long period. Data collected at Calvin Hall UC Berkeley Molecular cell biology laboratory. Centrifuge was kept at 4°C for centrifuging period. Room temperature varied from 65 - 79°C with an average temperature of 71.4°C.
