MLS-50 Rotor: Performance and Versatility for Your Centrifugation Applications
The MLS-50 rotor from Beckman Coulter is a state-of-the-art piece of equipment designed to meet the centrifugation needs of demanding laboratories. This swing-bucket rotor is specially developed for Optima MAX-XP tabletop centrifuges, offering exceptional performance for a variety of applications such as speed zone separation of subcellular organelles, pelletisation and isopycnic separations of RNA. With an impressive maximum speed of 50,000 rpm and a centrifugal force of 268,000 × g, the MLS-50 guarantees unmatched accuracy and reliability, essential for high-level scientific experiments.
The MLS-50's anodised aluminium construction provides outstanding corrosion resistance, ensuring optimum durability and longevity, even in demanding laboratory environments. The titanium buckets and Buna N O-rings are designed to maintain constant atmospheric pressure during centrifugation, ensuring optimal separation conditions and preventing contamination or leakage. This attention to materials and design demonstrates Beckman Coulter's commitment to the quality and reliability of its products.
The MLS-50 is also equipped with a magnetic speed sensor system, which allows for precise monitoring of rotation speed and provides protection against overspeeds. This feature is crucial for operational safety, especially when high speeds are required for complex separations. The rotor is designed for ease of use and maintenance, with easily replaceable components and simple cleaning procedures, minimising downtime and maximising operational efficiency.
One of the main strengths of the MLS-50 is its compatibility with a wide range of tubes and accessories. Whether you use OptiSeal, Quick-Seal or top-opening tubes, the MLS-50 can be tailored to your specific needs. This flexibility allows users to customise their configurations to suit the requirements of their experiments, offering unrivalled versatility. In addition, the rotor is designed to be easy to use and maintain, with easily replaceable components and simple cleaning procedures, minimising downtime and maximising operational efficiency.
