Preinstallation Requirements

Using J2 Series Rotors in the Avanti J-26S XP

Securing the Centrifuge to the Floor

Avanti J series centrifuges are certified to meet the requirements of the European CE mark. To meet
these requirements, the centrifuge must be secured to the floor using the anchoring hardware
shipped with the instrument. This will prevent the centrifuge from moving in the unlikely event of
a rotor mishap.
Complete instructions for installing the anchoring kit are packaged with the hardware, which is
shipped with the centrifuge. The instructions (publication B10122) include a full-size template to be
used as a guide for drilling holes in the floor. Refer to this document for additional installation
instructions.
NOTE
Beckman Coulter representatives are not equipped to drill holes in your floor. The holes must be drilled
before your scheduled installation.
Bio-Safety Level 3 Installation
For laboratories with epoxy aggregate (resinous) floors, such as BSL-3 labs, a non-invasive
installation kit (PN 393316) is available. The kit which consists of an adhesive-backed mounting
plate, is CSA certified for use on epoxy aggregate floors only.
Non-Invasive Centrifuge Restraint System for Vinyl Floors
For laboratories with vinyl tile floors or vinyl seamless floors, a non-invasive installation kit
(PN A84005) is available. The kit which consists of an adhesive-backed mounting plate, is CSA
certified for use on vinyl floors only.

CAUTION
Do not use the Beckman Coulter JA-10, JS-7.5, JA-14, or JS-13 rotors in the
Avanti J-26S XP centrifuge before reading this information.

Checking for Rotor Drive Pins

Rotors used in Avanti J series centrifuges must have drive pins in the rotor drive hole (see
Figure A.5). These drive pins engage with the centrifuge spindle hub to ensure that the rotor does
not slip during acceleration. Some Beckman Coulter rotors, including the JA-10, the JS-7.5, the
JA-14, and the JS-13, have been manufactured without drive pins because pins were not needed
when these rotors were used in J2 series centrifuges.
