The Optima AUC from Beckman Coulter Life Sciences is an ultracentrifuge that determines molecular weight, size shape, and polydispersity.

The Optima AUC from Beckman Coulter Life Sciences is an ultracentrifuge that determines molecular weight, size shape, and polydispersity. The Optima AUC has a 38.1-cm (15-inch diagonal) touch-screen with the ability to export data locally or remotely. The optics are contained outside the rotor chamber, reducing the impact of the g-force on the optics. The Optima AUC also allows molecules to float free and unbound so that researchers are able to characterize them in their native state. The ultracentrifuge can perform multi-wavelength analysis and allows for the development of new detection systems.
