Beckman Coulter Optima MAX-XP Features
Here are the key features of a Beckman Coulter Optima MAX-XP:
• Capacity: The Optima MAX-XP can handle different volumes depending on the rotor. Any of Beckman Coulter ML- and TL-series rotors can be used on the MAX-XP benchtop ultracentrifuge. It is recommended to check rotors’ specifications to see which best suits your production needs.
• Specifications: The Optima MAX-XP’s set speed ranges from 5,000 to 150,000 rpm in 1,000-rpm increments. Its set time is up to 99 hours, 59 minutes. Its set temperature ranges from 0 to 40°C in 1°C increments with ambient temperature ranging from 15°C to 35°C.
• Operation: The Optima MAX-XP can be operated in manual or programmed mode using its integrated touchscreen interface. There is also a pulse feature that allows for manual acceleration of the rotor for sample preparation.
• System: The Optima MAX-XP boasts more design features like variable frequency induction drive, thermoelectric temperature control system, self-purging vacuum system, rotor overspeed identification system, user login feature, and program memory that contains multiple five-step programs.
• Safety: The Optima MAX-XP has been tested to operate safely indoors at altitudes up to 2000 meters (6562 ft). Its door has an electromechanical door-locking mechanism to prevent contact with a spinning rotor. When a power outage occurs, the door lock can be manipulated manually for sample recovery. Its overspeed system identifies the maximum permitted speed. It is also equipped with an imbalance detector that monitors the rotor during the run, causing automatic shutdown if rotor loads are severely out of balance.

Our Testing Process
1. Centrifuge technician pre-tests the unit’s (1) speed sometimes to maximum speed for a few minutes, (2) refrigeration (if equipped), (3) spinning if they spin up and spin down properly, (4) checks the buttons, switches, timers if they are all working. Necessary parts for repair are ordered.
2. Once any parts come in for the unit, or they’re working, the centrifuge technician performs any necessary repairs.
3. The centrifuge technician runs the unit to maximum RPMs for a minimum of 1 hour while observing the refrigeration performance (if applicable). During this step, loud/unusual noises, smells, and extra heat build up are observed.
4. The centrifuge technician also observes the proper performance of sensors like temperature, vacuum (if equipped), rotor sensors, tach sensors, latch sensors, etc.
5. After a full hour run, the centrifuge technician takes a photo of the centrifuge display to be shown in the listing photos on New Life Scientific’s e-commerce platforms.
6. The centrifuge technician then does a thorough look over throughout the centrifuge to identify anything that is missing, loose, or damaged. The centrifuge technician follows New Life Scientific’s Centrifuge Technician Checklist at this time to make sure everything is checked accordingly.
7. The refrigeration condenser and chassis cleaned are both handled by blowing out the unit with compressed air or dry ice blasting.
8. Sensors are cleaned and/or re-installed with proper gap. Electrical connections are latched and tightened down properly.
9. Drive mounts, drive brushes, gas springs are checked and replaced, if necessary.
10. The centrifuge is then cleaned and if needed, painted as well, to make sure the unit comes out as standard as we can.
Our Ultracentrifuge Technician Checklist
At New Life Scientific, our technicians test each device thoroughly before shipping to verify performance and functionality. After our centrifuge technician finishes the initial testing process, this Ultracentrifuge Technician Checklist is filled out to record the important information gathered throughout the repair process. This checklist will be available publicly after the unit has undergone tech completion.
Beckman Coulter Avanti Optima MAX-XP Benchtop Ultracentrifuge Applications
• Cell Biology and Biochemistry - The centrifuge is commonly used for harvesting cells from cultures in bioprocessing, cell culture studies, and in research applications. It aids in separating proteins from other cellular components in studies related to biochemistry. It also helps isolate and concentrate RNA or DNA from biological samples.
• Blood Separation - Centrifuges are used to separate blood components (plasma, serum, and cells) for diagnostic tests, blood banking, or plasma collection for medical treatments.
• Urine and Stool Sample Analysis - For isolating cells, bacteria, or other particles for microbiological analysis or diagnostics.
• Microbiological Testing - Separation of microorganisms from biological samples for culture or identification.
• Water Quality Testing - Used to separate particulates, microorganisms, or contaminants from water samples for analysis in environmental monitoring.
• Viral Particle Isolation - In research on viruses, benchtop centrifuges help isolate viral particles from cell cultures or biological samples.
• Gene Therapy Applications - In genetic research, centrifuges assist in separating viral vectors, plasmids, or other generic materials from cultures.
• Nanoparticle Synthesis - Used for separating nanoparticles or other fine materials form solution after synthesis.
• Food and Beverage Industry - Used to separate fats from milk or cream during processing in the dairy industry. Used to remove pulp and other solid particles from fruit juice. In the fermentation process for beer and wine production, centrifuges help separate yeast from liquids.
• Forensic Science - In forensic investigations, benchtop centrifuges help isolate blood components or bodily fluids for DNA extraction and analysis. Can also help to analyze drugs, poisons, or other toxic compounds.
• Teaching Tool/Educational - In educational settings, benchtop centrifuges are used in laboratory classes for demonstrations on centrifugation principles and sample preparation techniques.
