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 tolerance and fully clean the exterior and interior of all units. If the unit is being purchased with a rotor, we test the rotor/centrifuge combination together.
Pictures
The photos above are representative. Please bear in mind that the equipment shown is currently in storage in our warehouse and that 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. At your request, we can provide photos of the equipment in your order after it has been tested and cleaned.
