A tabletop ultracentrifuge with a footprint as small as a laptop computer? If that doesn’t sound possible then you are clearly not familiar with the Beckman Airfuge. This air-driven ultracentrifuge packs a lot of capability into a small body that offers a simple method for removing chylomicrons for accurate lipemic clarification results in as little as 10 minutes. So it’s a time-saver AND a space-saver!
With a speed range of up to 110,000rpm, the Beckman Airfuge doesn’t use vacuum or high-speed bearings; instead, the rotor is supported and spun by streams of air. This method offers increased efficiency over motor-drive models, with max speeds reached in 30 seconds or less, a combination of high g-forces and short path lengths, and smooth deceleration to keep contents separated.
A variety of rotors are compatible with the Beckman Airfuge and can support pelleting of almost all the materials that can be done in a full-size, motor-drive centrifuge. Additionally, the small volume processing of 100uL to 7 mL means that there’s no need to dilute samples.
What’s more, the Beckman Airfuge doesn’t use vacuum or high-speed bearings, so it is an exceptionally safe ultracentrifuge because the rotor is held in place by a pressure differential created during centrifugation.
So if you’re in the market for an ultracentrifuge and want a space-saving, time-saving, cost-saving solution, please give us a call or email today about the Beckman Airfuge. Thanks very much!
