Rotor Preventive Maintenance
Do not use sharp tools on the rotor, as they can scratch the rotor surface.
1
Periodically (at least monthly) inspect the rotor, especially inside cavities, for damage.
a.
If damage is evident, do not run the rotor.
2
Contact your Beckman Coulter representative for information about the Field Rotor Inspection
Program and the rotor repair center.
3
Before using the rotor tie-down screw, check it for damage such as stripped threads.
a.
Replace it if it is damaged.
4
Refer to
Chemical Resistances
for the chemical compatibilities of rotor and accessory materials.

Your Beckman Coulter representative provides contact with the Field Rotor Inspection
Program and the rotor repair center.
Cleaning
Frequent cleaning will ensure proper operation and prolong the life of the centrifuge and rotors.
Always clean up spills when they occur to prevent corrosives or contaminants from drying on component
surfaces. Wash the rotor and rotor components immediately if salts or other corrosive materials are used
or if spillage has occurred.
NOTE
Before using any cleaning methods except those recommended by the manufacturer, users should
check with the manufacturer that the proposed method will not damage the equipment.
