    Why is the rotor not achieving the set speed in my Beckman Coulter Microfuge 16 Laboratory Equipment?
    • T
      Tiffany JacksonAug 1, 2025
      If your Beckman Coulter Laboratory Equipment rotor cannot achieve the set speed, measure the line voltage while the centrifuge is operating, as the line voltage may be below the rating. If the voltage is correct, check the connections and then call Beckman Coulter Field Service in case of electrical failure. It is also possible that the issue is due to a mechanical failure, which requires contacting Beckman Coulter Field Service.

      Ms. Kerri Garcia MDAug 7, 2025
      If there is no indication on the displays of your Beckman Coulter Laboratory Equipment, first ensure that the power cord is plugged in and the power is turned on. If the issue persists, it could be due to a blown fuse, in which case you should call Beckman Coulter Field Service, as there are no user-replaceable fuses. Alternatively, the issue might be due to a mechanical failure, which also requires contacting Beckman Coulter Field Service.

      Rebecca MooreAug 11, 2025
      If you are getting a bad tachometer reading on your Beckman Coulter Laboratory Equipment, turn the power off and wait for the rotor to come to a complete stop, then turn the power back on to reset. If the issue continues, turn the power off again, verify that the rotor is completely stopped, then open the door using the procedures under Accessing the Rotor in Case of Power Failure. Close the door firmly, and turn the power back on.

      David NelsonAug 16, 2025
      If the door of your Beckman Coulter Laboratory Equipment won't open, first wait until the rotor stops spinning. If there is still no response, ensure that the power is on by plugging in the power cord and turning the power on. If power restoration is not possible, follow the instructions for accessing the rotor in case of power failure to retrieve your sample.

    Why my Beckman Coulter Laboratory Equipment centrifuge cannot be started?
    • T
      Tamara BenjaminAug 21, 2025
      If your Beckman Coulter Laboratory Equipment centrifuge cannot be started, first ensure that the power cord is properly plugged in and the power is turned on. If the issue persists, it could be due to a blown fuse, in which case you should call Beckman Coulter Field Service. There are no user-replaceable fuses. Alternatively, the issue might be due to a mechanical failure, which also requires contacting Beckman Coulter Field Service.
