1. A centrifuge, comprising:
a rotor;
a motor which drives the rotor to rotate;
an input/output part which allows a user to input a set running time of the rotor and a drive start instruction of the motor, and is capable of displaying a running state of the motor; and
a control unit which starts drive of the motor when the drive start instruction is input to the input/output part and controls the drive of the motor, wherein
the control unit stops the drive of the motor to stop the rotor after the set running time for centrifugal separation which is input by the input/output part, wherein
the control unit starts counting of counted time after the rotor is stopped, and displays the counted time on the input/output part,
wherein the control unit erases the display of the counted time performed by the input/output part when an operation of the input/output part by the user is detected during counting of the counted time.
