Beckman Allegra 6 Centrifuge

Features

• Smart Balance Technology ensures accurate performance with automatic imbalance detection and shutdown for safety.
• Features an electromechanical door-locking mechanism with a secondary manual lock, enhancing operator safety.
• Monitors rotor load during operation, automatically shutting down in case of severe imbalance.
• Equipped with a rugged drive and fine-tuned suspension for consistent performance and reliability in the lab.
• Two independent monitoring systems prevent door opening when the rotor is spinning, ensuring enhanced lab safety.
• Includes anchoring provisions to secure the centrifuge, minimizing risk of injury or damage in case of rotor issues.

The Beckman Allegra 6 Centrifuge features smart balance technology and has a high capacity with the GH-3.8 swing bucket rotor. This benchtop centrifuge and its rotor can accommodate a wide range of vessels, from 1.5 ml tubes to 750 ml bottles and generally including tubes, bottles, microplates, specialty bottles, and blood bags. The Allegra 6 reaches maximum speeds up to 6,100 RPM with maximum RCF of 5,710 x g. Features automatic rotor imbalance detection, auto door interlock, rugged drive, and fine-tuned suspension for performance, reliability, and safety in the lab.

The Allegra 6 is ideal for cell culture, plasma, and other general purpose separations.

Centrifuge Inspection and Recertification Checklist

• Confirm the power supply output voltages match specified requirements for stable distribution to all internal components
• Measure and verify voltages at PCB test points to ensure accurate power delivery and circuit integrity
• Confirm rotor compatibility with the centrifuge model and check that rotor detection systems recognize the rotor type
• Inspect the exterior for any cosmetic or structural damage that could affect performance or safety
• Check the door mechanism alignment to ensure secure and smooth opening and closing
• Inspect and replace the gas strut with an OEM part to maintain proper door support and safety
• Examine the rotor chamber bowl for dents or damage and replace as needed to ensure safe operation
• Replace and confirm full functionality of all lid lock switches to maintain secure closure
• Inspect and lubricate the door lock mechanism, applying grease to the lid lock rail for smooth operation
• Test compressor functionality (if applicable) to ensure proper operation and consistent temperature control
• Conduct an 8-12 hour cycle test to validate consistent performance over prolonged use
• Confirm rotor motor stability, check for unusual noise, and assess mechanical integrity during operation
• Inspect the condensation drain and clear any clogs to prevent moisture buildup in the rotor chamber
• Verify RPM accuracy using an NIST-traceable tachometer and perform calibration as necessary
• Check the centrifuge error log to ensure zero recorded issues, confirming system reliability
