A good match for you Optima L60 might be the classic SW 28 swinging bucket rotor for separation of molecules requiring maximum resolution of sample 'zones' as in rate zonal studies. Since the buckets spin horizontal the longer run times result in superb resolution of sample bands.

Also excellent for forming very compact pellets at the bottom of the tube
