Wow, are we excited about this centrifuge: the Beckman Coulter Optima XE-100 ultracentrifuge. Beckman is knowns to manufacture some of the most advanced and reliable units on the market and the XE-100 lives up to this reputation.
This Optima XE centrifuge is intended for use as a general purpose laboratory instrument for the separation of components through the use of relative centrifugal force. Applications may include the separation of blood, urine, and other bodily fluids, either alone or after the addition of reagents or other additives; chemicals; industrial or environmental samples.
Central to the operation of the Optima XE-100 is the touch screen, which serves as both the information display and the control input for the instrument. As they are needed, control buttons appear on the screen. When you select a button, you activate that control. The touch screen position is adjustable (both swivel and tilt) to be made viewable from nearly anywhere in the lab. This is especially useful in environments where a single operator may oversee a number of instruments.
The Optima XE uses a diffusion pump in series with a mechanical vacuum pump to reduce chamber pressure to a very low level. The system starts automatically when you start a run, or manually when the chamber door is closed and you use the Vacuum Display/Button on the Footer Bar of the Home Page. When the vacuum system is on, the chamber pressure is displayed in microns in the Vacuum Display/Button.
Another feature we like is the energy efficient regenerative braking system. When engaged regenerative braking returns energy to local circuit reducing utility costs while highly efficient thermoelectric cooling results in lower power consumption. The Beckman Optima XE-100 is so efficient that it uses only the amount of power as a 60-watt light bulb while idling. Additionally, this centrifuge is quiet while in operation and designed for lowest drive noise. With an operating noise level of less than 51 dB, this is one of the quietest floor model centrifuges on the market.
So if you’re looking for a newer vintage ultracentrifuge, please contact us about the Beckman Optima XE-100. Thanks very much!
