Abstract

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Zentrifugenbehälter (4), der Einsatz findet in einer Laborzentrifuge (1). Erfindungsgemäß weist der Zentrifugenbehälter (4) eine RFID-Einrichtung (11) auf. Die RFID-Einrichtung (11) kann mit der Laborzentrifuge (1) kommunizieren. Diese Kommunikation kann beispielsweise eine Anzahl von Betriebszyklen, die der Zentrifugenbehälter (4) durchlaufen hat, eine Zentrifugationsdauer, eine Winkelgeschwindigkeit einer Rotation des Zentrifugenbehälters (4), eine Beschleunigung des Zentrifugenbehälters (4), ein Ausschwingwinkel des Zentrifugenbehälters (4) und/oder eine Temperatur im Inneren des Zentrifugenbehälters (4) sein. Möglich ist auch, dass der Zentrifugenbehälter (4) über eine Speichereinheit verfügt, in der die von dem Zentrifugenbehälter (4) durchlaufenen Zyklen von Zentrifugationsprozessen gespeichert ist. Auf diese Weise kann eine Erfassung eines Zyklusstandes des Zentrifugenbehälters (4) unabhängig davon erfolgen, mit welcher Laborzentrifuge (1) der Zentrifugenbehälter (4) betrieben wird.The invention relates to a centrifuge container (4), which is used in a laboratory centrifuge (1). According to the invention, the centrifuge container (4) has an RFID device (11). The RFID device (11) can communicate with the laboratory centrifuge (1). This communication can be, for example, a number of operating cycles that the centrifuge container (4) has undergone, a centrifugation time, an angular velocity of a rotation of the centrifuge container (4), an acceleration of the centrifuge container (4), a swing-out angle of the centrifuge container (4) and / or one Temperature inside the centrifuge container (4). It is also possible for the centrifuge container (4) to have a storage unit in which the cycles of centrifugation processes passed through by the centrifuge container (4) are stored. In this way, a cycle status of the centrifuge container (4) can be recorded regardless of the laboratory centrifuge (1) with which the centrifuge container (4) is operated.
