Couldn't load pickup availability
The Beckman Coulter Optima MAX-E tabletop ultracentrifuge is offered by Service AI as a refurbished and tested benchtop ultracentrifuge for small-volume, high-speed separations — an economical route into genuine ultracentrifugation. The MAX-E — the 100,000 rpm model in Beckman Coulter's Optima MAX series, also known as the MAX-100K — is a practical choice for universities, teaching laboratories, and research groups that need genuine ultracentrifuge performance on a limited equipment budget. Service AI's Beckman-trained service experts will perform a final instrument checkout and performance verification before shipment. Our specialists bring technical knowledge of ultracentrifuge systems, rotor compatibility, installation, and service to help your laboratory make an informed purchasing decision.
Instrument pricing and rotor options
Optima MAX-E instrument pricing: $9,995 for the ultracentrifuge without a rotor. Rotors are priced separately.
Rotor options: The Optima MAX-E works with Beckman Coulter MLA-series and TL-series fixed-angle rotors and the MLS-50 swinging-bucket rotor — including the TLA-120.1 fixed-angle rotor we currently have in stock. Contact Service AI to confirm rotor availability and the right rotor for your application.
Need higher performance? Our Beckman Coulter Optima MAX-TL Tabletop Ultracentrifuge offers 120,000 rpm and up to 657,000 x g, with its matched TLA-120.1 fixed-angle rotor available separately or as a package.
Small-volume ultracentrifugation for research workflows
The Optima MAX-E provides a compact benchtop platform for sedimentation and fractionation applications. Representative applications include the sedimentation of viral particles and viral vectors, lipoproteins, subcellular particles, plasmid DNA, and extracellular vesicles. Rotor selection, centrifugation conditions, and sample preparation should be matched to the specific separation protocol.
