About this item
This compact ultracentrifuge is a versatile and convenient benchtop unit. A variety of rotors make the Airfuge ideal for applications such as receptor-binding studies, lipoprotein assays, chylomicron studies, sample preparation for electron microscopy, and clarification of lipemic samples.
- Versatile and Convenient Benchtop Unit
- Air Turbine-Driven
- Results within Short Run Times
- Ideal for Receptor-Binding Studies and Lipoprotein Assays
- Variety of Rotors
The Airfuge® is air turbine driven and delivers results in a fraction of the time of larger units
The speed is air-pressure regulated and braking is first achieved by coasting, then friction braking by engagement of the brake pin. The rotor operates at a temperature a few degrees above ambient.
The combination of high g-force and short path length results in remarkably short run times to produce results. Runs can be timed from 0–300 minutes in 5 minute increments; a HOLD button can be used for longer runs.
