Beckman Coulter 1.6 L Allegra X-30 Series benchtop centrifuge

The medium capacity Allegra X-30 Series benchtop centrifuge is suitable for general research use and clinical sample preparation. The compact, 45 cm wide instrument is now available individually or packaged with the appropriate rotors and labware to provide high-level performance in a range of applications.

Additionally, two new rotors are available in conjunction with the Allegra X-30 instruments: the SX4400, a 1.6 L swinging-bucket rotor and the S6096 microplate rotor that accommodates 3 x 2 microplates or 2 x 1 deep-well plates.

Beckman Coulter offers the benchtop centrifuge with its swinging-bucket rotor and 15 and 50 mL conical tube adapters to comprise a cell culture application package. Blood sample processing and microplate application packages also provide everything needed - centrifuge, rotor and adapters. Centrifuge packages are given a single part number, greatly increasing user convenience.

Fixed-angle and microplate rotors provide high performance specifications: 18,000 rpm and 30,000 x g for the fixed-angle rotor, and 4,700 rpm and 2721 x g for the microplate rotor. The swinging-bucket rotor’s maximum speed is 4700 rpm, with rcf of 4255 x g. In total, the Allegra X-30 accepts 13 different rotors and a range of labware to accommodate a variety of samples and run conditions.

Operation is intuitive and the large interface is visible from just about anywhere in a moderately sized laboratory. A refrigerated version of the centrifuge, the X-30R, can be cooled from room temperature down to 4°C in less than 10 minutes. BioCertified, clear, self-containing bucket covers for the SX 4400 swinging-bucket rotor enhance biosafety by enabling users to see any broken tubes.
