Used BECKMAN COULTER Optima L-90K Ultracentrifuge #9055396 for sale

BECKMAN COULTER Optima L-90K Ultracentrifuge is a high-performance ultracentrifugation device used to separate and analyze molecules suspended in a liquid sample. It utilizes a rotor that operates at variable speeds up to 90,000 rpm (rotation per minute) to exert extreme centrifugal forces of up to 895,000×g (times the acceleration of gravity) on a sample. Using these extreme forces, particles of differing sizes and densities within the sample are separated, enabling laboratory analysis of each constituent molecule. The Optima L-90K has a range of features that enable users to easily configure and monitor their experiments. It is equipped with a programmed touch control system that allows users to easily change parameters including rotational speed, acceleration profile, run time, and temperature, and also allows sufficient data logging for exact experiment reproducibility. Additionally, its LCD touch-screen display with graphical guidance helps make operation easy and allows new users to easily learn the operation of the centrifuge. The intuitive design enables the instrument to be used in multiple applications, such as cell separation, pelleting, and sample preparation for analytical methods. The Optima L-90K is highly reliable and is designed to meet the requirements of high performance research and clinical laboratories. To ensure a long service life, the centrifuge's structure incorporates a two-step steel/aluminum frame with additional dampening supports for minimized vibrations. The Aerosafe™ rotor chamber design contains and contains aerosol particles within the chamber during operation. The cooling system uses a precision vapor compression refrigeration system to ensure that temperature deviation remains below 0.3°C, enabling accurate results and sample availability. The centrifuge is safety certified and meets all required standards. It is designed with an automatic imbalance and overspeed shutdown, as well as an amber warning light that indicates rotor imbalance or an approaching overspeed situation. Additional safety features include a leak detection alarm which sounds in even the smallest of leaks, and a high-overpressure alarm which is designed to protect the chamber from overpressurization. The Optima L-90K is a highly reliable device with intuitive setup and operation. Its ability to generate high forces and its cooling and safety measures make it ideal for the separation and analysis of molecules with differing sizes and densities, with accurate results and long service life.
