Sample Preparation

The Beckman Optima™ TL 100 is a state-of-the-art ultracentrifuge. With its reliable and flexible performance, the TL 100 system meets the full-service centrifugal needs of hundreds of clinical laboratories all over the world as it can reach speeds up to 100,000 rpm and generate a force of 543,000 x g.       

The first of its kind in the world, the Beckman Optima™ TL 100 ultracentrifuge uses a vacuum-encased induction drive to eliminate high-speed vacuum seal. The feature also reduces heat output to 6150 Btu per hour and noise output to less than 60dB. Additionally, the friction reduction system of this Optima™ centrifuge minimizes heat output and improves the life of the motor.       

The Beckman TL 100 centrifuge is easy to set up, and requires relatively low maintenance. Along with this, the Beckman centrifuge also has the ability to display diagnostic issues or errors, and store up to 10 user programs. Other convenient features and capabilities of the Beckman Optima™ ultracentrifuge include thermoelectric refrigeration, microprocessor control, smooth acceleration/deceleration, air-cooled drive, and imbalance tolerant drive.

The PX1 PCR plate sealer provides consistent and uniform sealing across an entire microplate. This semiautomated heat sealer is ready to seal in less than 3 minutes. The PX1 sealer removes human variability from plate sealing and minimizes sample evaporation from the PCR workflow. This versatile instrument is compatible with a variety of heat-sealing films and foils and a wide range of PCR plates.

The PX1 PCR plate sealer features an intuitive touch-screen user interface. The thermal sealing process is simplified by allowing sealing temperature and time to be modified with the touch of a button.

Key Features and Benefits

• Fast startup time — avoid delaying an experiment while the sealer warms up
• Extremely intuitive — save time programming the instrument
• Small footprint — accommodates crowded laboratory benches
• Quickly access sealing protocols — save time by easily using stored protocols

Size Select Up To 24 Samples In One Run

PippinHT incorporates the company’s highly regarded sizing technology and increases throughput to 24 samples per run, compared to a maximum of five with Pippin Prep or BluePippin. The instrument offers an efficient, automated solution for scientists running busy sequencing labs, core facilities, and other laboratories producing large-scale sequencing data.
