Service of Thermo Fisher Scientific
Thermo Fisher Scientific recommends having the centrifuge and accessories serviced once a year by an
authorized service technician. The service technician checks the following:
•
the electrical equipment
•
the suitability of the set-up site
•
the lid lock and the safety system
•
the rotor
•
the fixation of the rotor and the drive shaft
Thermo Fisher Scientific offers inspection and service contracts for this work. Any necessary repairs are
performed for free during the warranty period and afterwards for a charge.
This is only valid if the centrifuge has only been maintained by a Thermo Fisher Scientific service
technician.
CAUTION
Before using any cleaning or decontamination methods except those
recommended by the manufacturer, users should check with the manufacturer that the
proposed method will not damage the equipment.
