Preventative Maintenance Checklist for Clinical Laboratory Centrifuges
Centrifuge rotor imbalances, motor brush wear, and speed tachometer drift can compromise blood component separation and pose severe mechanical hazards in clinical pathology labs.
Clinical centrifuges are workhorses of medical pathology laboratories, processing hundreds of blood, urine, and cytology specimens daily. Due to high rotational velocities exceeding 10,000 RPM, regular preventative maintenance is vital to prevent rotor catastrophic failure and ensure sample integrity.
Innotech provides comprehensive centrifuge calibration services including optical tachometer RPM verification, temperature chamber calibration for refrigerated units, dynamic rotor balancing, and electronic safety interlock testing.

Routine optical tachometer validation guarantees that blood specimens undergo the exact G-force required for pure serum and platelet plasma separation.
