Beckman centrifuges have a history of over 70 years since first developing the Model E, the world’s first analytical ultracentrifuge in 1947. We are grateful for the support of our valued customers over these many years. Developed originally in 1949, as an analytical ultracentrifuge to separate samples, the high-performance Model L is typically used as a preparative centrifuge. Until around 1950, Beckman centrifuges were known affectionately as “Spincos” and constantly delivered leading edge technology, such as powerful acceleration and precision temperature control functionality as the top brand...

Safety and Security By Maintaining Strict Temperature Control Inside the Chamber at ± 0.5°C, Cesium Chloride Crystallization Accidents are Prevented As a precaution when using cesium chloride as the density gradient medium, crystallization during centrifugation must be prevented. For this reason, the maximum speed must be derived using a curve plotted with the cesium chloride and maximum speed of the rotor. This curve varies with temperature. In other words, the maximum speed at which crystallization due to temperature does not occur varies. For this reason, the temperature inside the chamber...

Automatically Records a Complete History Including a Run History That Can Be Output Wide Work Space Optima XPN has enhanced data management which provides the capabilities to support customers’ GMP processes. Run records, the number of times that a rotor is used, the self-diagnostic history and programs are recorded automatically per user and can be output to recording media (USB flash and drive, etc.) or printers connected to the LAN via USB or Ethernet. Management with a log book is no longer necessary, making the work more efficient. Securing a wider space for rotor installation enables safer,...
