Unmatched Versatility, reliability, and safety.

Capable of generating 802,000 x g at speeds up to 100,000 rpm, Beckman Coulter's Optima L-100 K Ultracentrifuge enables you to perform — in less time — more separations, such as high-purity plasmid DNA, subcellular particles and virus isolations. This versatile floor model operates with a broad range of superb rotors, including zonal and continuous flow for large-volume separations. The L-100 K offers the reliability of a vacuum-encased induction drive, the simplicity of user-friendly, microprocessor-based control, and environmentally-friendly cooling system that eliminates the need for CFCs and other harmful liquid refrigerants. All this makes the L-100 K the right choice for your laboratory's routine separation needs.

Features of Optima™ L-100 K

Putting a smart new spin on your research.     The innovative rotors we've built for the Optima L are designed, manufactured and tested as a system from the inside out to make sure you get the highest quality of separation in the shortest possible time-safely and reliably. The increased efficiency of our SW 32 Ti series rotors can reduce run times. And thanks to a slight angle that positions contaminants away from the bands of interest, our NVT rotors deliver the highest purity in the shortest possible time.    

Innovative drive technology.     Optima L utilizes the most advanced materials and technology to achieve the high performance needed - up to 100,000 rpm - for extending the boundaries of research. Plus, the air-cooled design of our drives delivers the most energy-efficient ultracentrifugation system ever made. And the imbalance-tolerant Optima L drive safely accommodates tubes that are under- or over-filled by as much as 10%.    

The best place for your samples.     Since they're specially designed for innovative application solutions, our tubes deliver improved efficiencies, including Quick-Seal® for biocontainment, g-Max™ for the greatest volume efficiency, konical™ seal for the most concentrated pellet and OptiSeal™ for the easiest sealing. And the design of our one-touch OptiSeal tubes delivers fast, reliable sealing–just insert the plug and press into place, and the centrifugation process itself provides guaranteed protection for your samples.
