Why is the red error LED on and does not turn off in my Beckman Coulter StatSpin Express 4 M510 Laboratory Equipment?
If the red error LED is on and does not turn off on your Beckman Coulter Laboratory Equipment, it means the cycle counter has reached 50,000 spins. Please perform the periodic maintenance checks as indicated in Section 4.
What to do if my Beckman Coulter StatSpin Express 4 M510 is not providing platelet poor plasma?
If your Beckman Coulter Laboratory Equipment is not providing platelet poor plasma, check the rotor speed and ensure tubes are balanced. Also, make sure you are using the 5-minute setting. Ensure the probe of the analyzer is positioned vertically in plasma, no more than ¼ inch from the top surface of the plasma, and away from the tube walls. Contact Beckman Coulter Customer Service for guidelines for obtaining platelet poor plasma.
What to do if my Beckman Coulter StatSpin Express 4 M510 Laboratory Equipment unit vibrated and shuts down?
If your Beckman Coulter Laboratory Equipment unit vibrates and shuts down, it means the instrument detected an imbalance. You should clear the error using the keypad and inspect the balance tube to ensure the same size and style tubes are in the opposite positions. Make sure the liquid in the balance tube is at the same level as the sample tube, and the weight difference between the tubes should be less than 4 grams. If the correct balance is being used, inspect the rotor for any wear or damage. Remove the rotor and inspect for cracks, warping, or loose hardware. If any of these are found, discontinue operation and contact Beckman Coulter Customer Service for rotor replacement.
What to do if the Beckman Coulter Laboratory Equipment cover does not open?
If the cover of your Beckman Coulter Laboratory Equipment does not open, first confirm the unit has power. Then, press the Stop or Open button. If there is a power failure or malfunction, insert the manual latch release tool into the small hole on the front panel to release the cover and remove samples.
What to do if the 3 minute, 5 minute, 10 minute LEDs are flashing and the unit does not spin on my Beckman Coulter StatSpin Express 4 M510 Laboratory Equipment?
If the 3 minute, 5 minute, and 10 minute LEDs are flashing and the unit does not spin on your Beckman Coulter Laboratory Equipment, confirm the shield is securely locked in position (counter-clockwise).
What to do if tubes are breaking during centrifugation in Beckman Coulter StatSpin Express 4 M510 Laboratory Equipment?
If tubes are breaking during centrifugation in your Beckman Coulter Laboratory Equipment, replace the tube insert. Do not attempt to clean glass from inserts. Balance tubes should be replaced after 10 cycles.
What to do if sample is not separating adequately in Beckman Coulter StatSpin Express 4 M510 Laboratory Equipment?
If the sample is not separating adequately in your Beckman Coulter Laboratory Equipment, be sure the tubes are correctly mixed immediately following collection, referring to the tube manufacturer for the recommended procedure. Inspect the rotor speed and cycle times. Allow serum tubes to clot before centrifugation.
Why are caps popping off the tubes during centrifugation in my Beckman Coulter Laboratory Equipment?
If caps are popping off the tubes during centrifugation in your Beckman Coulter Laboratory Equipment, ensure that the correct tube inserts are in use. Inspect the insert listing available under accessories to match with appropriate tube sizes.
What to do if tubes are loose and do not fit into buckets in Beckman Coulter StatSpin Express 4 M510?
If tubes are loose and do not fit into buckets in your Beckman Coulter Laboratory Equipment, make sure that the correct tube inserts are being used. Inspect the insert listing available under accessories to match with appropriate tube sizes.
What to do if there is a crack in the top cover or housing of my Beckman Coulter Laboratory Equipment?
If there is a crack in the top cover or housing of your Beckman Coulter Laboratory Equipment, discontinue operation and have the unit serviced.
