Testing
Most of our equipment is used and reconditioned. Our technicians test the performance of all centrifuges and make sure the rotating assembly is properly balanced; the bearings, seals and gaskets on the spindle assembly are in good shape; and the controls work properly.
We also test refrigeration to make sure that the machine reaches and hold temperature properly. We measure all tolerances and clean the exterior and interior of all units. We test the rotor/centrifuge combinations together.
Our technicians inspect all rotors, including any buckets, gaskets and overspeed disks. We inspect fixed angle rotors for body integrity. We check swinging bucket rotors supplied with buckets for proper weight distribution. When possible we run each rotor in a compatible centrifuge to make sure the rotor spins properly.
