Using J2 Series Rotors in the Avanti J

CAUTION

Do not use the Beckman Coulter JA-10, JS-7.5, JA-14, or JS-13 rotors in the

Avanti J-26XP centrifuge before reading this information.

Checking for Rotor Drive Pins

Rotors used in Avanti J series centrifuges must have drive pins in the rotor drive hole (see

Figure 1.5). These drive pins engage with the centrifuge spindle hub to ensure that the rotor does

not slip during acceleration. Some Beckman Coulter rotors, including the JA-10, the JS-7.5, the JA-14,

and the JS-13, have been manufactured without drive pins because pins were not needed when

these rotors were used in J2 series centrifuges.
