WARNING Do not place the ultracentrifuge near ar eas containing flammable or combustible fluids, or any other source of vapors that could enter the ultracentrifuge air system and be ignited by the motor The Beckman L8-80M is an advanced ultracentrifuge, designed to simplify and automate operation. The L8-80M system is equipped with a number of features that will meet the demands of high volume laboratories and facilities. Featuring rotor imbalance detection, the Beckman L8-80M ultracentrifuge can run more than 40 different rotors, perform up Starting with the innovations created by our founder, Arnold O. Beckman Ph.D., Beckman Coulter has lived at the forefront of the technology that continues to help improve life for all of humankind. Our foray into the world of ultracentrifugation is no different. In fact, we introduced the first commercial ultracentrifuge in 1947. Beckman Coulter Ultracentrifuge 1-5 Instrument Classification 1 Each Beckman Coulter preparative ultracentrifuge carries a given in the appropriate Rotor Manual. Speed limitations lower than those given in this Product Selection Guide may be required because of weight considerations—the weight of a tube, a cap, or the density of the Biomolecular Chemistry - A Century of Research Excellence: 1921-2021 Beckman Coulter Ultracentrifuge 1-1 1 Ultracentrifugation Ultracentrifuge Descriptions Optima This manual is designed to familiarize you with the Airfuge ultracen-trifuge, its functions, specifications, operation, and routine operator care and maintenance.
