Used BECKMAN COULTER Microfuge 18 #9074072 for sale

BECKMAN COULTER Microfuge 18 is an benchtop high speed centrifuge designed for sample preparation, reaction monitoring, and pelletizing in research and medical laboratories. This instrument operates at a maximum speed of 40,000 rpm, delivering up to 18,000 x g of centrifugal force. Its brushless motor provides a wide speed range, allowing for quick acceleration/deceleration times, and its digital microprocessor control allows users to control speed, time and set predetermined runs. Microfuge 18 includes a digital display on the front of the unit to keep track of time during centrifugation and a convenient feature is its intermittent operation, allowing the option for timed runs with pauses for mixing. In terms of size, BECKMAN COULTER Microfuge 18 is a compact benchtop unit which can fit in any standard size laboratory space. It can easily accommodate laboratory tubes up to a 50 mL capacity and has a corrosion-resistant chamber fashioned out of die-cast aluminum alloy for durability. The rotor can also accept multiple tube sizes and even plates specifically designed for automated clinical processes. This instrument also has many safety features built-in to protect the user and the sample including an auto-balancing system to reduce vibration resulting from high speed centrifugation, a digital tachometer to monitor revolutions per minute, and an integrated auto-locking lid to guard against sample loss or a centrifuge explosion. All these features are designed to protect against sudden temperature increases as well as electrical or mechanical malfunction, which could be caused by operator error or overloading the instrument. Microfuge 18 also comes with a ten year manufacturer guarantee for added peace of mind. When it comes to maintenance, the unit utilizes an oil-free fan, which continuously circulates the air to keep the device at the desired temperature, as well as ensuring no oil enters the working environment, protecting the sample from contamination. With it's combination of features and safety protocols, BECKMAN COULTER Microfuge 18 is the ideal choice for sample preparation, reaction monitoring, and pelletizing in moderate speed applications.
