Testing
Our technicians test the performance of all centrifuges including proper balance of the rotating assembly; the bearings, seals and gaskets on the spindle assembly; and the controls functions.
We also test to make sure that refrigerated machines reach and hold temperature properly. We measure all tolerances and clean the exterior and interior of all units. If the unit is being purchased with a rotor we test the rotor/centrifuge combination together.

The photos above are representative. Please bear in mind that the equipment shown is currently in storage in our warehouse. In addition to testing each machine we will clean all the equipment thoroughly prior to shipment.
We often have multiple units of each model in stock and sometimes we're unable to feature photos of every single unit. We can provide additional photos of the equipment upon request.
