The Allegra X-5 air-cooled benchtop centrifuge from Beckman Coulter Life Sciences is specifically designed for clinical sample preparation. Bundled packages are offered for a range of clinical sample preparation applications and include swinging bucket rotors and common adapters to enable fast and convenient setup. Throughput and productivity are enhanced through seamless integration with the Beckman Coulter Automate 2500 family of sample processing systems. The company's UniCel DxC and UniCel DxI sample racks can be spun directly in the centrifuge, eliminating transfer steps. The energy efficient system has a small footprint, which allows it to fit comfortably on a benchtop and provides capacity for up to 140 blood collection tubes. A maximum speed of 4700 rpm and centrifugal force of up to 4470 x g helps shorten run times.
