Before service, centrifuge and rotors should be thoroughly cleaned and decontaminated to
ensure full and safe inspection can be completed.
Fisher Scientific offers inspection and service contracts for this work. Any necessary repairs
are performed for free during the warranty period and afterwards for a charge. That is only
valid if the centrifuge has only been maintained by an authorized Fisher Scientific service
technician.
A validation of the centrifuge is recommended and can be ordered from customer service.
