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 check 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.
Note
No chemical additives are permitted in the steam.
CAUTION
Never exceed the permitted temperature and duration when autoclaving.
If the rotor shows signs of corrosion or wear, it must be replaced.
