The Optima AUC analytical ultracentrifuge offers many enhanced capabilities. The fast and easy-to-use analytical research tool comes with a 38.1 cm (15 inch) diagonal touch-screen display which eases operation and boosts efficiency. In addition, modern, intuitive software enables simple run-monitoring and data exports performed either locally or remotely. The optics are contained outside the rotor chamber, making it easier to clean, and reducing the impact of the g-force on the optics.
The instrument provides protein and particle analysis for accurate molecular weight determination, thermodynamics of associating systems, viral and nanoparticle payload characterization, and many additional emerging applications. Although analytical ultracentrifugation is a recognized technique for protein characterization, it is also suitable for characterizing a wide array of particles including peptides, polymers, metallic nanoparticles, liposomes and other non-biological materials. The instrument allows molecules to float free and unbound so researchers are able to characterize them in their native state.
The instrument improves temperature control and increases data storage, wavelength precision, and wavelength repeatability, providing clean, reproducible data. In addition, its modular design allows for the development of new detection systems. Beckman Coulter Life Sciences
