Beckman Coulter Allegra V-15R Refrigerated Benchtop Centrifuge with Programmable Controls

The Beckman Coulter Allegra V-15R is a refrigerated benchtop centrifuge engineered for high-capacity, temperature-sensitive separations crucial in biotechnology, molecular diagnostics, and bioprocessing workflows. It operates at speeds up to 13,500 rpm generating a maximum relative centrifugal force (RCF) of 20,412 × g, enabling efficient centrifugation of diverse biological samples. The instrument’s temperature control range from -10°C to +40°C is essential for preserving sample integrity during sensitive procedures such as molecular cloning and synthetic biology experiments.

Key features include:

• Broad rotor compatibility, including the Beckman V5 4.758 swing bucket rotor, facilitating versatile tube and plate formats for various sample volumes up to 3 liters.
• Programmable acceleration and deceleration profiles (10 each), supporting gentle or rapid spin cycles to optimize sample separation while minimizing pellet disturbance − beneficial in delicate cell imaging and biomanufacturing applications.
• Automatic rotor identification and imbalance detection, ensuring operational safety and reliability in clinical diagnostics and research labs.
• Backlit LCD display with membrane touch controls and storage for up to 50 customizable programs, allowing repeatability in routine workflows essential for biopharmaceutical production pipelines.
• Compact footprint (24x25x16 inches) and quieter operation reduce laboratory noise pollution, supporting multiuser environments common in neuroscience and biomedical engineering facilities.

The Allegra V-15R integrates seamlessly into diverse laboratory settings requiring robust refrigerated centrifugation—widely adopted for cell fractionation, protein purification, and nucleic acid isolation workflows. Its efficient thermal regulation prevents heat buildup during extended high-speed runs, critical in maintaining sample viability in live-cell imaging and fluorescence analysis. This centrifuge is a reliable tool for researchers demanding precise temperature-controlled centrifugation within biotechnology and molecular biology disciplines.
