Since the introduction of the first commercial ultracentrifuge in 1949 – the classic Beckman Model L – Beckman Coulter has been at the forefront of centrifuge innovation. Although the physics of this basic separation technique never change, Beckman Coulter continually designs new and innovative rotors and accessories, and develops advanced methods that allow the forces of centrifugation to be applied in new ways. This centrifuge product selection guide is designed to help you determine the most efficient centrifuge tools for your work.

Each section begins with a brief description of instruments that Beckman Coulter offers within that centrifuge category. Because biocontainment is a major concern in today’s laboratories, Beckman Coulter provides a number of options that address this issue. Special biocontainment accessories are available across our centrifuge product line and are identified with this icon: Rotors with this symbol have been tested* to demonstrate containment of aerosols under normal operating conditions of the associated Beckman Coulter centrifuge when used and maintained as instructed.

Following the centrifuge descriptions, listings of their rotors are included with information on speed and g-force capability. Also included is information on tubes and bottles that can be used and the adapters they require. Tubes and bottles are cross-referenced in a separate section that provides details on tube materials, chemical compatibility, tube designs, and tube closure options. A reference section at the back of the guide includes quick-reference charts on instrument and tube selection and frequently-used formulas, as well as a listing of centrifuge literature and training tools available from Beckman Coulter.
