Whether your research involves proteomics, cytomics or genomics, the Optima L-80 XP Series ultracentrifuge is designed to play a key role in the discovery process. Thanks to a sophisticated on-board computer, powerful Optima eXPert software and an easy-to-use touch screen, the Beckman Optima L-XP delivers superior functionality, optimized user efficiencies, and faster turnarounds than any other ultracentrifuge. In today's rapidly-changing discovery world, the Beckman Optima L-XP is engineered to put you on the inside track to tomorrow's exciting new breakthroughs.
| A smarter ultracentrifuge. For smarter results. | |
![]() | Beckman's advanced Optima eXPert software provides unprecedented centrifugation capabilities. It assists you in developing the most efficient centrifugation methods, selecting the rotor and labware for a given application, then simulating the results before performing separations of proteins and sub-cellular particles. With this high level of centrifugation knowledge, you get more efficient use and faster turnarounds. |
| Putting a smart new spin on your research. | |
![]() | The innovative rotors we've built for the Optima L-80 XP are designed, manufactured and tested as a system from the inside out to make sure you get the highest quality of separation in the shortest possible time-safely and reliably. The increased efficiency of our SW 32 Ti series rotors can reduce run times. And thanks to a slight angle that positions contaminants away from the bands of interest, our NVT™ rotors deliver the highest purity in the shortest possible time. |
| Innovative drive technology. | |
![]() | The Beckman Optima L-80 XP Ultracentrifuge utilizes the most advanced materials and technology to achieve the high performance needed - up to 100,000 rpm - for extending the boundaries of research. Plus, the air-cooled, design of our drives delivers the most energy-efficient ultracentrifugation system ever made. And the imbalance-tolerant Optima L-XP drive safely accommodates tubes that are under- or over-filled by as much as 10%. |
| The best place for your samples. | |
![]() | Since they're specially designed for innovative application solutions, our tubes deliver improved efficiencies, including Quick-Seal® for biocontainment, g-Max™ for the greatest volume efficiency, konical™ seal for the most concentrated pellet and OptiSeal™ for the easiest sealing. And the design of our one-touch OptiSeal tubes delivers fast, reliable sealing--just insert the plug and press into place, and the centrifugation process itself provides guaranteed protection for your samples. |

![]() | Optima eXPert Software Demo 1: Run Simulation -- Pelleting Watch how Optima eXPert Software allows you to determine the ideal pelleting time for a particular material and calculate an unknown sedimentation coefficient prior to your run. |
![]() | Optima eXPert Software Demo 2: Run Simulation -- Rate Zonal Find out how to stop your run at the optimum separation time before the sample material reaches the tube bottom and becomes a pellet. |
![]() | Optima eXPert Software Demo 3: Labware Substitution Calculation See how Optima eXPert Software maximizes versatility in your lab by comparing multiple tube volumes for ultracentrifuge run calculations. |
![]() | Optima eXPert Software Demo 4: Downloading Run Conditions Observe the simplicity of retrieving previously stored simulations and downloading them to your ultracentrifuge. |
Optima's easy-to-use eXPert Software gives your lab an edge by making it possible to quickly design and optimize separation protocols using a combination of rotors and tubes to simulate results — all before performing separations. A unique slide-bar feature allows you to view the separation at earlier run times to better suit the isolation of individual components. Up to three components can be modeled using the rate-zonal protocol. Then save the simulated run and download it with a single click of the mouse when you're ready to begin your run. Optima eXPert Software's advanced intelligence delivers greater productivity and faster turnarounds for your lab.
