Its vertical tube geometry provides a short radial sedimentation path across the width of each tube rather than along its length. This geometry can reduce the time required to reach equilibrium compared with swinging-bucket or fixed-angle configurations, depending on the sample and gradient conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eApplications include plasma lipoprotein separations using the single vertical spin method, density gradient purification of viruses and viral vectors, and DNA banding in cesium chloride gradients. Rotor speed, gradient composition, tube selection, and run conditions should be matched to your established protocol.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRotor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Beckman Coulter VTi 50.1 vertical tube rotor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRotor type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vertical tube\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer rotor package part number:\u003c\/strong\u003e C78759.
