Overview

MATRIX Delta Plus Matrix Delta plus heats and cools reliably with variable inserts. Whether blood samples, pharmaceutical agents, DNA/RNA samples or ELISA assays - reaction vials and plates with even the smallest volumes are reliably tempered in all laboratory applications. In addition, Matrix Delta plus comes with numerous user-friendly features: Large and clear display with a convenient menu structure allows for an intuitive operation Reduced waiting time through fast heating and cooling rates of up tp 5.5 °C/min (heating) or 2 °C/min (cooling, at set-point temperature between ambient temperature and 30 °C below ambient temperature) Firm quick-release fastener for quick and easy changing of the inserts/attachments as well as an automatic attachment detection Automatic performance of heating and cooling tasks through programmable ramps Aluminum die cast housing ensures secure positioning, excellent stability and everyday robustness The device is ideally suited for numerous applications in laboratories, such as: Tempering of samples Synthesis of cDNA Enzyme-catalysed linking of RNA or DNA (ligation) Gentle thawing of sample material Structural change of DNA, RNA and proteins (denat

Maintenance contract — AxiTech provides planned preventive maintenance for MATRIX Delta Plus from IKA: scheduled visits, safety checks, periodic calibration and a documented service report, backed by a contractual response time.

Troubleshooting, repair and spare parts — our shakers, stirrers & mixers engineers diagnose and repair MATRIX Delta Plus on site or in the workshop, fit genuine spare parts and recommission the equipment after performance verification.

AxiTech maintains, repairs and supplies this equipment for hospitals, clinics, laboratories and imaging centres.

Maintenance contracts for MATRIX Delta Plus

AxiTech provides preventive maintenance contracts for MATRIX Delta Plus. Each contract fixes a schedule of planned visits in which our biomedical engineers inspect the equipment, replace wear parts before they fail, and verify that it still performs inside the manufacturer’s tolerances.

Every visit includes calibration and performance verification, and closes with a documented maintenance report you can present during an accreditation audit. Spare-parts availability and a guaranteed response time are written into the contract, so a breakdown never leaves a department waiting for an answer.

Plan at least one preventive maintenance visit per year, and a second visit for equipment in continuous or critical use.

  • Planned preventive maintenance visits at a fixed interval
  • Calibration and performance verification against the manufacturer’s specifications
  • A documented maintenance report after every intervention
  • Guaranteed availability of spare parts and consumables
  • A contractual response time when the equipment fails

Troubleshooting and repair for MATRIX Delta Plus

When MATRIX Delta Plus fails, our engineers start with a structured diagnostic: error codes, electrical and mechanical checks, and a functional test against the equipment’s own specification. That tells us whether the fault is a consumable, a worn part or a board-level failure before any part is ordered.

Straightforward faults are repaired on site so the department loses as little time as possible. Anything that needs a workbench, a full strip-down or a specialised spare part goes to our workshop and comes back only after a complete post-repair test and, where the equipment requires it, recalibration.

Faults we see most often on this type of equipment

The faults we see most often are worn moving parts, power-supply and control-board failures, sensors that have drifted out of tolerance, and fluid or air paths that have become blocked or contaminated.

Troubleshooting

How to troubleshoot MATRIX Delta Plus

Work through these checks before you escalate. They are the same first-line sequence our biomedical engineers run on arrival, and they either clear the fault or narrow it down enough that the intervention starts with the right spare part in the van.

  1. Capture the fault before you touch anything: write down the exact error code or message, the serial number from the rating plate, what the operator was doing and whether the fault clears on a restart.

  2. Confirm the power supply end to end — wall outlet, mains lead, fuse and any UPS or stabiliser in between. A device that is intermittently dead has a supply fault far more often than an internal one.

  3. Check the consumables and wear parts — filters, seals, tubing, probes, batteries — and note when each was last replaced. Anything past its service interval is the first suspect.

  4. Reproduce the fault once, deliberately, and record the sequence: what the operator did, what the device displayed, and whether a full power cycle clears it.

  5. If the fault is still there, escalate with the evidence. Send AxiTech the model, serial number, error code and the checks you have already run, and an engineer will come back with a diagnosis, a repair quote and a spare-parts lead time for MATRIX Delta Plus.

What to send us when you report the fault

  • Manufacturer, model and serial number, from the rating plate
  • The exact error code or message, and the screen it appears on
  • When the fault started, how often it occurs and what triggers it
  • A photograph of the display or of the fault, and the last maintenance report

If the fault survives all five steps, stop using MATRIX Delta Plus and open a repair request. Continuing to run equipment through a fault it cannot clear turns a component failure into a board-level one, and on devices used for diagnosis or therapy it puts the result — and the patient — in doubt.

Buying and installing MATRIX Delta Plus

AxiTech supplies MATRIX Delta Plus together with the accessories and consumables it needs to enter service. We handle importation, delivery and installation, then commission the equipment on site so that it is verified against its specification before the first patient or the first sample.

Installation is followed by training for the users and for your biomedical team, warranty registration, and — if you want it — a maintenance contract that takes over the day the warranty ends, so the equipment never spends a period without planned service.
