Overview

Beckman Coulter recommends that instrument operators perform periodic inspections and
preventative maintenance on all devices. Contact Beckman Coulter at any time if the
instrument is not functioning correctly.
Caution
Disconnect the power cord from the electrical outlet before performing maintenance
or inspection.
Warning
Inspect the instrument for cracks or any physical damage to housing, cover, and rotor
upon the receipt of the unit. Damage can cause unsafe operation; if damage or cracks
are found, discontinue use until repairs have been performed.
Warning
Do not expose the rotor to strong or concentrated acids, bases, esters, aromatic or
halogenated hydrocarbons, ketones, or strong oxidizing agents, or environmental
influences, including natural ultra-violet radiation.

Cleaning

Clean the outside surfaces and the control panel with a water-dampened absorbent tissue
and mild detergent. Clean the inner surface with a mild detergent and if necessary, a
disinfectant, wiping with an absorbent tissue dampened with 70% alcohol or 10% bleach
solution.
Caution
Do not spray cleaning solutions directly onto the centrifuge bowl or housing.
Overspray can reach the motor bearings or internal circuitry, causing harm to the
electronics.
Before using any cleaning or decontamination methods other than those
recommended by the manufacturer, users should check with the manufacturer that
the proposed method will not damage the equipment.
