Product description

The Beckman Coulter Optima MAX-130K is a high-performance refrigerated benchtop ultracentrifuge engineered to deliver ultrahigh centrifugal forces necessary for advanced molecular biology and biotechnology workflows. Capable of reaching speeds up to 130,000 rpm and generating relative centrifugal forces (RCF) exceeding 1,019,000 × g, this instrument enables efficient separation of proteins, viral particles, nucleic acids, and nanoparticles essential for gene editing, molecular diagnostics, and bioprocessing applications.

Key technical specifications include:

  • Speed range: 5,000 to 130,000 rpm
  • Maximum RCF: 1,019,000 × g depending on rotor type
  • Temperature control: Thermoelectric cooling with precise set points from 0°C to 40°C and accuracy within ±2°C
  • Programmable run time: Up to 99 hours 59 minutes
  • Compact benchtop design: Dimensions 29 × 23 × 21 inches, weighing 180 lbs, ideal for laboratories with limited space
  • Vacuum system: Self-purging for optimized rotor performance and noise reduction

The Optima MAX-130K includes a TLA 55 fixed-angle rotor supporting speeds up to 55,000 rpm, making it versatile for density gradient centrifugation, viral vector isolation, and nanoparticle characterization. Its advanced microprocessor controls and safety features ensure reliable operation for sensitive sample preparations in clinical diagnostics, biopharmaceutical production pipelines, and synthetic biology research.

Widely adopted in biotechnology and molecular biology research, this ultracentrifuge supports essential workflows such as protein purification, nucleic acid separation, and nanoparticle analysis. Its compact refrigerated design is critical for maintaining sample integrity during live-cell imaging preparation and other temperature-sensitive protocols.

Included accessories:

  • Beckman Ultra Centrifuge unit (CAT# Optima MAX130-K)
  • TLA 55 Fixed-Angle Rotor with lid
  • 120V, 60Hz power cord
  • Optima TLX User Manual
  • 30-day warranty

This model is optimized for laboratories focused on high-speed separations, bioprocessing refinement, and biomedical engineering applications, providing robust performance in a space-efficient benchtop footprint.

Why Questpair exists

Lab equipment markets are fragmented. Buyers spend weeks calling distributors, comparing quotes, and verifying supplier reliability. Sellers struggle to reach global research labs.

We built Questpair to fix this. Every supplier on the platform is verified before listing. Every quote you receive comes from a real, vetted seller. AI prepares your case in minutes, then a real specialist takes over.

We're an independent team based in The Netherlands, working with research labs and procurement teams across Europe and worldwide.

Frequently asked questions

How long does laboratory equipment typically last?

With a service contract, ten to fifteen years is normal for most benchtop instruments. Detectors and pumps are the parts that wear first.

Can I get service for older equipment?

Yes. Every verified supplier states which service partners cover the instrument, and we list that alongside the offer.

Where can I buy parts?

Ask a scientist through the request button. Parts are often available even when the instrument itself is discontinued.

What is the typical lead time for refurbished equipment?

Two to six weeks, depending on refurbishment scope and whether calibration is included.

Does laboratory equipment ship internationally?

We ship to 38 countries. Crating and customs handling are quoted with the instrument.
