Beckman Coulter 22R Refrigerated Microfuge

The Beckman Coulter 22R Microfuge is a handy little refrigerated benchtop centrifuge that can be used for a wide variety of applications, including nucleic acid plasmids and bacteriophages isolation, routine processing such as sample preparations, pelleting, and extractions, as well as virus isolation and preparation of subcellular organelles.

Beckman 22R Microfuge – Specifications

Speed range: 500 to 14,000 rpm
Temperature range: -10 to +40°C
Rotor included; call or email for info on available models

Beckman 22R Microfuge – Features

The Beckman 22R can hold from 24 x 2ml tubes to 96 x 2ml tubes, depending on rotor selection. All compatible rotors are fixed-angle and maintenance free, and can be autoclaved at 121°C for sterilization. With a small footprint and quiet operation, the Beckman Coulter 22R is a relatively small but very useful addition to any lab.

Testing

This Beckman Coulter 22R Refrigerated Microfuge is used and reconditioned. Our expert technicians meticulously test every centrifuge to ensure optimal performance and reliability, leaving no detail overlooked. They thoroughly balance the rotating assembly, inspect the bearings, seals, and gaskets, and confirm the proper functioning of all controls.

For refrigerated centrifuges, they verify the unit reaches and maintains the desired temperature accurately. All tolerances are carefully measured, and both the interior and exterior are fully cleaned for a polished finish. When sold with a rotor, technicians test the rotor and centrifuge combination together for seamless operation.

Rotors undergo a rigorous inspection process, including buckets, gaskets, and overspeed disks. Fixed-angle rotors are assessed for body integrity, while swinging bucket rotors are checked for proper weight distribution. Whenever possible, each rotor is run in a compatible centrifuge to confirm flawless performance, ensuring you receive equipment that meets the highest standards.

Testing Procedures for Used and Refurbished Laboratory Centrifuges

Ensure Quality, Accuracy, and Compliance Before Deployment

Used and refurbished laboratory centrifuges from American Instrument Exchange undergo testing procedures to ensure they meet the performance, safety, and compliance standards required in modern laboratories.

Why Testing Used Laboratory Centrifuges Is Essential

Before a centrifuge is reintroduced into a lab environment, it must be tested for:

Mechanical integrity
Rotor balance and speed accuracy
Safety system functionality
Electrical compliance

Proper testing helps extend equipment lifespan, reduce downtime, and ensure safety in high-stakes lab environments such as clinical diagnostics, biotechnology, and research applications.

Our structured testing protocol for used and refurbished centrifuges ensures equipment safety, accuracy, and longevity.

Key Testing Procedures for Refurbished and Used Centrifuges

1. Initial Visual Inspection

Check for signs of wear, corrosion, or damage to housing, lid, and control panels
Inspect power cords, plugs, and connectors for fraying or exposed wiring
Confirm that the rotor and accessories are compatible and undamaged

2. Functional Testing

Power up the centrifuge and confirm successful boot-up of digital or analog displays
Test lid lock and emergency stop mechanisms
Run initial cycles at various speeds to check for abnormal noise or vibration

3. Rotor and Speed Verification

Test all programmable speed settings to confirm consistent acceleration and deceleration
Monitor temperature, vibration, and RPM consistency throughout the cycle
Balance testing ensures smooth operation and prevents wear on internal components

4. Electrical Safety and Grounding Tests

Verify that all electrical components are properly grounded and shielded

5. Temperature Control (if applicable)

For refrigerated centrifuges, test cooling function to ensure temperature stability within set ranges
Check refrigerant levels and inspect for compressor noise or failure

6. Final Quality Assurance Checklist

Conduct a full run-through using the user interface
Document all test results
