Inordinantly stupid question, but the centrifuge manual does not provide this information - does a high brake (9) mean a fast or slow brake? I have always assumed it means fast, but I cannot seem to confirm it online anywhere.... thanks.
Dear Sarah, which type of centrifuge do you have? Recent Beckman Coulter Ultras Have the term "acceleration" where the higher means the slower and "deceleration" where the higher means the more time needed for shutting down.
Since this termination does not hold true for every manufacturer, please check first ;-)
