Since its launch, the user base of Rivold M1416R high-speed benchtop refrigerated centrifuge has continued to grow and has been widely praised.
However, with the continuous pursuit of product functionality in the market, RWD's R&D team has made more excellent improvements to the centrifuge.
The upgrade includes four key aspects: electric magnetic door lock, anti-pinch hand door cover, upgrade of rotor pick and place feel, and automatic adjustment of multi-gear cooling fan.
The above upgrade content may only take a few seconds to read, but this process takes a lot of time and requires a lot of effort from R&D personnel. We will share with you the R&D story behind the centrifuge, which is the first decryption - electric magnetic door lock.
The R&D team of Reward centrifuge comes from different project groups, including experienced old engineers and young researchers who have just graduated. Like a gathering of heroes, after repeated discussions and research, they decided to start with the lid and opened the first step on the road to centrifuge upgrades.
Electric magnetic door lock
Lao Zhang, an experienced engineer, has extraordinary imagination and creativity. He came up with a bold idea: to upgrade the lid of the centrifuge to an electronic door lock.
"Our centrifuges are frequently used in laboratories, hospitals, etc., and if we can replace traditional manual locks with electronic door locks, it will not only be more secure, but also more convenient to use," he said. ”
Taking customer experience as the starting point is the consistent pursuit of Riward products. But what kind of electronic door lock to choose for our centrifuge?
Lao Zhang consulted a lot of information, learned about the most cutting-edge door lock devices, and found that none of them seemed to meet the requirements of centrifuge.
Until one day, on the way home, the moment the car door was closed, Lao Zhang had a flash of inspiration. It dawned on him that perhaps the automotive electric gate technology, which is widely used in daily life, could also be applied to centrifuges, which has not only been widely proven, but is also convenient and safe.
With new ideas in mind, the next step is to put them into action. From the changes to the internal design to the new output, every step of the way has been carefully checked to create the ideal electric door lock!

The production of new centrifuges is only the second step, and the next step is to pass the door lock life test, burst test, user experience test, etc. before it can be put into the market.
However, in the process of testing the life of the electric door lock, Lao Zhang found that the electric suction door lock also brought another problem: the original centrifuge cover and the electric suction door lock were easy to clamp the experimental gloves, causing inconvenience in the experiment.
Therefore, in order to improve the user experience and operational safety, we have upgraded the lid of the centrifuge in a new round! The new canopy design makes it easier for the experimenter to open and close the door while operating the centrifuge, improving convenience and safety during use.
This upgrade not only solves the problem caused by electromagnetic door locks, but also further optimizes the design of the centrifuge to make it more suitable for the needs of experimenters.
