Ultracentrifugation revolving around the user
More than 1,000,000 × g ood reasons for Beckman ultracentrifuges
All the ultracentrifugation expertise you need
Ultracentrifuges are impressive: they accelerate rotors to up to 150,000 revolutions per minute, create a gravitational field of more than 1,000,000 x g and deliver unmatched results in separating biomolecules. Do you want to isolate viruses, purify DNA or separate proteins without compromising on purity, sample quality, or yield? Then ultracentrifugation is your method of choice.
Learn how to use state-of-the-art technology to make your centrifugation workflow simple, intuitive and safe. And, at the same time, look to the future: from ultracentrifuges and compatible rotors and tubes to software and maintenance, Beckman Coulter will continue to provide you with all you need from a single source.
