SX4750A Swinging-Bucket Rotor

Care and Maintenance  

 (Up to three Beckman Coulter plates can be run per carrier at maximum multiwell-plate speeds. If 

running four Beckman Coulter plates, reduce run speed to 2700 RPM. Observe manufacturer’s run 

speed and stacking limitations if using other manufacturers’ multiwell plates.) If using multiwell 

plates for runs exceeding 2 hours in a warm and/or humid environment, speed reduction may be 

required to maintain low sample temperatures.

Care and Maintenance

Maintenance

NOTE

Do not use sharp tools on the rotor that could cause scratches in the rotor surface. Corrosion begins 

in scratches and may open fissures in the rotor with continued use.

1

Periodically (at least monthly) inspect the rotor yoke, buckets, and/or multiwell-plate carriers, 
especially inside cavities, for rough spots or pitting, white powder deposits—frequently 

aluminum oxide—or heavy discoloration. 

 •

 If any of these signs are evident, do not run the rotor. 

 •

Contact your Beckman Coulter representative for information about the Field Rotor 

Inspection Program and the rotor repair center. 

2

Approximately every 400 runs, and after cleaning and/or autoclaving, wipe the rotor pins and 
pin sockets (see 

Figure 4

) with a paper towel, then coat the sockets with Paint On Graphite 

Lubricant (977212). 

 •

Allow the lubricant to dry for at least 5 minutes before installing the rotor in a centrifuge.

 •

Refer to publication TJ6-TB-011 (supplied with the cannister kit) for information on Aerosolve 

cannister maintenance.

 •

Refer to publication GX-TB-007 for information on 25-cm

2

 cell culture flask adapter 

maintenance or GX-TB-006 for 75-cm

2

 flask adapters.

Store the rotor in a dry environment (not in the centrifuge). Refer to 

Chemical Resistances

 

(publication IN-175) 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.
