BECKMAN COULTER LIFE SCIENCES
Silicone vacuum grease (1 oz)
Reference : BEC-335148

This vacuum grease is for o-ring lubrification. Lubrification will protect the o-ring and maintain efficiency of the closure systems.

Silicon vacuum grease is used on the O-rings of centrifuges and ultracentrifuges to:

  1. Prevent Sample Spillage and contamination: 
    The grease helps maintain a tight seal, preventing any sample from leaking out and ensuring no contaminants enter the system.
  2. Maintain Vacuum: 
    In devices like ultracentrifuges that operate under vacuum, the grease helps maintain the vacuum conditions by preventing air leaks into the centrifuge vessel. This is crucial for the proper functioning of these machines.

Solution 555 (1 qt)
Reference : BEC-339555

946-mL bottles of Solution 555™ Rotor Cleaning Concentrate, 1 qty; minimum order 2 bottles.
Under normal use, as part of the day-to-day care and maintenance program of the centrifuge rotors, wash the rotor frequently to prevent the build-up of residues.

Beckman Solution 555 (339555) is a mild and efficient detergent that won’t damage the rotors.
