Removal And Sample Recovery - Beckman Coulter Avanti J Series Instructions For Use Manual

Using Fixed-Angle Rotors
Operation
3
Press down on the knob, then screw it down tight.
(Turning the knob to the right [clockwise] attaches the rotor to the hub; the lid on some fixed-
angle rotors remains free and may be slipped on or off while the rotor remains secured in the
centrifuge.)
NOTE
The JA-18 rotor must be run with the lid on in Avanti J series centrifuges.

Removal and Sample Recovery

CAUTION
If disassembly reveals evidence of leakage, you should assume that some fluid
escaped the container or rotor. Apply appropriate decontamination procedures to
the centrifuge, rotor, and accessories.
1
Unscrew the rotor lid knob to release the rotor from the spindle hub.
NOTE
Labware can be recovered from most fixed-angle rotors while the rotor remains in the centrifuge.
You can remove the lid and extract the tubes or bottles using the removal tool specified in the
applicable rotor manual. If the rotor is left in the centrifuge between runs, be sure that it is securely
tied down before each run. Remove the rotor regularly and clean the drive spindle assembly.
