Warranty-1
Beckman Coulter, Inc.
Ultracentrifuge Rotor Warranty
All Beckman Coulter ultracentrifuge Fixed Angle, Vertical Tube, Near Vertical Tube, Swinging Bucket, and
Airfuge rotors are warranted against defects in materials or workmanship for the time periods indicated
below, subject to the Warranty Conditions stated below.
Warranty Conditions (as applicable)
1. This warranty is valid for the time periods indicated above from the date of shipment to the original
Buyer by Beckman Coulter or an authorized Beckman Coulter representative.
2. This warranty extends only to the original Buyer and may not be assigned or extended to a third person
without written consent of Beckman Coulter.
3. This warranty covers the Beckman Coulter Centrifuge Systems only (including but not limited to the
centrifuge, rotor, and accessories) and Beckman Coulter shall not be liable for damage to or loss of the
user’s sample, non-Beckman Coulter tubes, adapters, or other rotor contents.
4. This warranty is void if the Beckman Coulter Centrifuge System is determined by Beckman Coulter to
have been operated or maintained in a manner contrary to the instructions in the operator’s manual(s)
for the Beckman Coulter Centrifuge System components in use. This includes but is not limited to
operator misuse, abuse, or negligence regarding indicated maintenance procedures, centrifuge and rotor
classification requirements, proper speed reduction for the high density of certain fluids, tubes, and tube
caps, speed reduction for precipitating gradient materials, and speed reduction for high-temperature
operation.
5. Rotor bucket sets purchased concurrently with or subsequent to the purchase of a Swinging Bucket Rotor
are warranted only for a term co-extensive with that of the rotor for which the bucket sets are purchased.
6. This warranty does not cover the failure of a Beckman Coulter rotor in a centrifuge not of
Beckman Coulter manufacture, or if the rotor is used in a Beckman Coulter centrifuge that has been
modified without the written permission of Beckman Coulter, or is used with carriers, buckets, belts, or
other devices not of Beckman Coulter manufacture.
7. Rotor parts subject to wear, including but not limited to rotor O-rings, VTi, NVT™, TLV, MLN, and TLN
rotor tube cavity plugs and gaskets, tubing, tools, optical overspeed disks, bearings, seals, and lubrication
are excluded from this warranty and should be frequently inspected and replaced if they become worn
or damaged.
8. Keeping a rotor log is not mandatory, but may be desirable for maintenance of good laboratory practices.
Repair and Replacement Policies
1. If a Beckman Coulter rotor is determined by Beckman Coulter to be defective, Beckman Coulter will
repair or replace it, subject to the Warranty Conditions. A replacement rotor will be warranted for the
time remaining on the original rotor’s warranty.
2. If a Beckman Coulter centrifuge is damaged due to a failure of a rotor covered by this warranty, Beckman
Coulter will supply free of charge (i) all centrifuge parts required for repair (except the drive unit, which
will be replaced at the then current price less a credit determined by the total number of revolutions or
