Benchtop Ultracentrifuge

Beckman Coulter introduces the Optima MAX-XP benchtop ultracentrifuge. The instrument delivers fast run times of up to 150,000 RPM (2,500 revolutions per second) and is exceptionally quiet – producing only half the sound power of other benchtop models. A new MLA-150 fixed-angle rotor has a low k-factor for rapid separation of small volume samples such as subcellular particles, viruses and proteins. The instrument features redesigned software with significant ease-of-use enhancements. The user interface is intuitive and customisable with control via a full-colour touch screen. Optional remote monitoring and control of the system is also available. Users can easily switch between RPM and RCF modes.
