Testing performed by our in-house service team:

The BIOS 16 Bioprocessing Centrifuge passed all tests and was found to be fully functional:

• We tested the power-up sequence and confirmed successful initialization.
• We verified the functionality of the control interface and settings panel.
• We tested speed adjustment and confirmed accurate RPM settings.
• We ran test cycles to validate consistent operation across multiple speeds.
• We verified timer functionality and its integration with spin protocols.
• We inspected and tested the lid locking mechanism for safety compliance.
• We confirmed smooth acceleration and deceleration during operation.
• We checked for abnormal noise or vibration during high-speed runs.
• We verified proper chamber balance and rotor alignment.
• We inspected the unit’s internal and external condition for wear or damage.
• We perform final QC testing and inspection prior to shipping.
