Service of VWR
VWR recommends having the centrifuge and accessories serviced once a year by an authorized service
technician. The service technicians check the following:
• the electrical equipment;
• the suitability of the set-up site;
• the lid lock and the safety system;
• the rotor;
• the fixation of the rotor and the drive shaft.
VWR offers inspection and service contracts for this work. Any necessary repairs are performed for free
during the warranty period and afterwards for a charge.
This is only valid if the centrifuge has only been maintained by a VWR service technician.
