Always follow universal, safe laboratory practices when
handling specimens, troughs, lids, panels, or any surfaces
or instruments that can contact biological specimens.

Follow your local or regional regulations for disposing of

Ordering inoculator sets
Contact your Beckman Coulter representative for inoculator
set ordering information. Refer to the part numbers listed
above.
Instrument disposal
The Instrument disposal process includes decontaminating
and e-waste recycling or disposing of mechanical or
electronic components. Bench-top instruments that have
reached end-of-life, can be decontaminated and disposed by
the customer according to laboratory, local, and regional
e-waste regulations.
Instruments must be decontaminated first. This minimizes the
risk of biohazards to the environment and to the personnel.
See the "Maintenance" topic in this document for more
information.
Warranty statement

warranty included in your contractual agreement for the system or its

procedures. Repairs arising from the failure to perform these
maintenance procedures at the indicated time intervals are made at
the discretion of Beckman Coulter, and at the customer's expense.
The RENOK Rehydrator/Inoculator System is guaranteed to be free of
mechanical defects for a period of one year. During the warranty
period, Beckman Coulter will replace a unit which is found to exhibit
defects in materials, workmanship or performance when used
