Beckman Coulter Allegra X12R Refrigerated Benchtop Centrifuge with Microprocessor Control

The Beckman Coulter Allegra X12R is a refrigerated benchtop centrifuge engineered for precise temperature control and high-speed separation, making it ideal for *cellular research*, *molecular diagnostics*, and *biotechnology applications* such as bioprocessing and gene editing workflows. Featuring a 3.0 L capacity and a maximum speed of 10,200 RPM generating forces up to 11,400 × g, the Allegra X12R efficiently supports sample types including blood components, cell suspensions, and other biological materials.

Key technical features include:

• Temperature range: -10°C to 40°C with temperature hold for 10 minutes post-run, preserving temperature-sensitive bioprocessing samples.
• Microprocessor control with a numeric keypad enabling up to 20 user-defined programs, adaptable to complex acceleration (10 profiles) and deceleration (11 profiles) requirements.
• Flexible run setup by RPM or relative centrifugal force (RCF) via intuitive prompts, supporting protocols critical for synthetic biology and molecular cloning workflows.
• Brushless induction drive enhances operational reliability and reduces maintenance, ensuring consistent performance in clinical diagnostics and biopharmaceutical production pipelines.
• The swing-bucket rotor (model SX4750A) and included adapters allow processing of a variety of sample vessels like 15 ml tubes and microplates, suitable for downstream applications in biomedical engineering and fluorescence analysis.

Compact and robust, with dimensions of 30 x 27 x 17 inches and weighing 267 lbs, the Allegra X12R accommodates demanding laboratory environments. Its automated rotor identification and eye-balance sample loading features optimize workflow efficiency, making it a widely adopted refrigerated centrifuge in synthetic biology research and bioprocess development.

This centrifuge supports critical research fields—including *cell imaging*, *molecular biology*, and *clinical diagnostics*—by delivering consistent, safe, and reproducible centrifugation results essential for advanced biotechnology and biomedical research applications.
