Benchtop centrifuge
The Allegra X-5 air-cooled benchtop centrifuge from Beckman Coulter Life Sciences is designed specifically for clinical sample preparation. As the latest member of the Allegra suite of benchtop centrifuges, the unit offers performance, reliability and endurance under exacting circumstances. Bundled packages, which include swinging bucket rotors and common adapters, enable fast and convenient setup, are offered for a range of clinical sample prep applications, and make it easy to order these energy efficient units. Throughput and productivity are enhanced through seamless integration with the Beckman Coulter Automate 2500 family of sample processing systems. Furthermore, the company’s UniCel DxC and UniCel DxI sample racks can be spun directly in the centrifuge, eliminating transfer steps. A small footprint allows the unit to fit comfortably on the benchtop, while still providing capacity for up to 140 blood collection tubes. Maximum speed of 4700 rpm and centrifugal force of up to 4470 x g shortens run times.
