OptiMATE Gradient Maker for Density Gradient Centrifugation Sample Preparation
The OptiMATE Gradient Maker simplifies the laborious and error-prone density gradient ultracentrifugation (DGUC) process into an easy-to-maintain operation by automating nearly all pre-centrifuge steps, including gradient preparation, accurate dispensing, and tube sealing, significantly reducing run times without sacrificing purity or yield.
Automated dispense and tube sealing
- Significantly reduce error and improve reproducibility
- Compatible with most common Beckman Coulter tube sizes
- Compatible with Quick-Seal, OptiSeal, and Open-Top tubes
Pre-formed gradients
- Ability to dispense linear and step gradients
- Dramatically shorter run times (75+% reduction) for linear gradients
Simple GUI and method creation
- Train new operators in just hours, not weeks
- Published methods ensure consistency between runs and operators
- On-board visualization of gradient profiles
