Thermo Fisher Scientific MaxQ 8000
Thermo Fisher Scientific · Model MaxQ 8000
Three times the capacity of a floor shaker in virtually the same footprint Built for both sensitive eukaryotic culture applications - with contamination-reducing HEPA filtration, coved corner design, single-piece chamber and tight temperature uniformity - and for demanding prokaryotic culture applications Rugged construction, wide speed range and no limits on “hard shake” speed, even when stacked three-high
Key tips
- ·Run QC controls before trusting any repair - an analyzer that passes self-test can still report clinically wrong results.
- ·Rule out a reagent lot change before opening the instrument - it can look exactly like a hardware fault.
- ·Centrifuge rotors have a hard retirement age/cycle limit regardless of visible condition - don't eyeball it.
