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

CAUTION
Do not use the Beckman Coulter JA-10, JS-7.5, JA-14, or JS-13 rotors in the
Avanti J-26S XPI 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.
