Does the Spin Air require calibration?
Yes. The Spin Air requires in house calibration at Neu-Tec facility. The Spin Air is delivered with a calibration certificate indicating date of calibration and is valid for one year.
How often do I need to calibrate the Spin Air?
We recommend calibrating the Spin Air at least once a year although excessive use may call for more often calibrations.
What kind of battery does the Spin Air use?
The Spin air uses rechargeable Ni-Metal Hydride 7.2V internal battery pack, which allows the Spin Air to work up to 8 hours (without the slave unit connected).
Nothing on display. What can I do?
Push up button (↑) for 3 sec. If nothing happens charge batteries for 4 hours. You can also work with the Spin Air while it is connected to electricity although it will limit your range of usage due to requirement of an outlet.
What kinds of bacteria can the Spin Air actually test for?
The spin air can collect any biological aerosols including molds, fungi, pollen, spores etc. in accordance to the selectivity of agar plate that is being used.
What size of agar plates does the Spin Air use?
The Spin Air can use both 90mm and 60mm plate according to the attachment that is being used.
How can I clean the Spin Air?
The Spin Air may be cleaned with a wet towel with a solution of 80% alcohol. No residues will remain on the instrument.
Is it possible to use disinfectant solution?
The use of disinfectant is not recommended due to the fact that they may leave behind residues.
How does the Spin Air work?
After placing an agar plate in the Spin Air and setting the volume of air one would like to run though it, the Spin Air platform will start to rotate and spin the agar plate in a set speed (1-4 RPM).
At the same time, air will be sucked in (100 L / min). This spinning motion provides full coverage of the agar plate surface and eliminates overlapping layers of bacteria.
Can I set the delay time on the Spin Air?
Yes, when needed, the delay time can be set for up to 1 hour (divided by seconds).
What is the total amount of air that can run thought the Spin Air?
The Spin Air can be set to take any amount of air between 0-to-9999 L of air.
What kind of attachments can be used with the Spin Air?
The Spin Air can be connected to several devices, such as bar code reader, printer or PC (RS 232) and a Slave unit which allows performing duplicate experiments or saving time when doing multiple plates types.
What is the “Slave” unit being used for?
The “Slave” unit is a down scale unit that can be connected to the Spin Air. This unit does not require any setting, it will simply duplicate the data from the main unit and perform the same experiment simultaneity resulting accurate duplicate results.
Do you Service, support and Train the Spin Air?
Yes, Neu-tec will provide support and training on the instrument over the phone, and if needed to will service the instrument at our laboratory.
Can I try out an instrument before I buy it?
Yes, we rent a wide variety of instrumentation and offer loaners Call us toll free 1-888-810-5179 for more information.
