Incorporating adapters for direct centrifugation of cell culture flasks, eliminating an entire step in the cell culture process, this machine automatically detects and corrects imbalance
Beckman Coulter introduces the Allegra X-15R benchtop centrifuge, providing fast separations and optimal recovery in the large capacity four x 750ml rotor.
This new instrument spins the popular rotor at 5250g - said to be the fastest speed available for this capacity, and also spins microplate carriers.
Described as ideal for many applications, the Allegra X-15R accommodates Beckman Coulter's exclusive adapters for direct centrifugation of cell culture flasks, eliminating an entire step in the cell culture process.
It also incorporates Aries smart balance rotor technology, which not only automatically detects imbalance, but also corrects it, enabling customers to complete their runs even if the samples are not balanced.
All Allegra X-15R rotors and carriers with covers are certified by CAMR, Porton Down, UK, for biocontainment.
Aerosolve clear canisters for the round swinging buckets are also available for biocontainment, enabling viewing from top and bottom.
An easy-to-use numeric keypad user interface enables direct entry of values with user-friendly prompts.
"This new benchtop centrifuge meets the pressing needs we have heard from users worldwide," explains Barbara Keeler, product marketing manager for Beckman Coulter.
"Researchers want more power and flexibility on the bench, and the Allegra X-15R delivers it".
