Used Beckman Avanti J-20 XP High-Speed Refrigerated Floor Centrifuge

Our Centrifuge Testing Process

To assure the highest quality and offer a fair warranty on our products, our centrifuge technicians evaluate every product through rigorous testing:

1. The centrifuge technician pre-tests the unit’s speed, sometimes to maximum speed for a few minutes, refrigeration, whether it spins up and spins down properly, buttons, switches and timers. The technician also orders the necessary parts for repair.
2.  Once the unit’s parts arrive or are working, the centrifuge technician performs any necessary repairs.
3. The centrifuge technician runs the unit to maximum RPMs for a minimum of one hour while observing the refrigeration performance (if applicable). During this step, loud or unusual noises, smells and extra heat build up are observed.
4. The centrifuge technician also observes the proper performance of sensors like temperature, vacuum (if equipped), rotor sensors, tach sensors, latch sensors, etc.
5. After a full hour's run, the centrifuge technician takes a photo of the centrifuge display.
6. The centrifuge technician then thoroughly inspects the centrifuge to identify anything missing, loose or damaged. At this time, the centrifuge technician follows New Life Scientific’s Centrifuge Technician Checklist to ensure that everything is checked accordingly.
7. The refrigeration condenser and chassis are cleaned by blowing out the unit with compressed air or dry ice blasting.
8. Sensors are cleaned and/or reinstalled with the proper gap. Electrical connections are latched and tightened down properly, ensuring they have a proper power cable.
9. Drive mounts, drive brushes and gas springs are checked and replaced, if necessary.
10. We then clean the centrifuge and repaint, if needed, to meet our high presentation standards.

Our Centrifuge Technician Checklist

At New Life Scientific, our technicians test each device thoroughly before shipping to verify performance and functionality. After our centrifuge technician completes the initial testing process, the Centrifuge Technician Checklist is filled out to record the important information gathered throughout the repair process. This checklist will be publicly available after the unit has undergone tech completion.
