Unloading The Centrifuge - Beckman Coulter Avanti J-26S XP Instructions For Use Manual

2
After the rotor stops spinning, step on the foot pedal located on the front of the centrifuge, to
open the door.
NOTE
During runs at very cold temperatures, nominally –10°C or below, ice may form around the door
opening, causing the door to stick shut. If this happens, press firmly on the door in several locations
around the door opening and depress the foot pedal again.
To minimize icing, remove moisture from inside the chamber, from the chamber gasket, and from
the inner door surface before each run by wiping these surfaces with a clean cloth. Also, keep the
door closed as much as possible.

Unloading the Centrifuge

At the end of a run, unload the rotor following the instructions in the applicable rotor manual.
CAUTION
If disassembly reveals evidence of leakage, you should assume that some fluid
escaped the rotor. Apply appropriate decontamination procedures to the
centrifuge and accessories as required.
