Beckman VTI 65.1 Ultracentrifuge Rotor – 65,000 RPM Vertical Tube Rotor

Beckman VTI 65.1 Ultracentrifuge Rotor – 65,000 RPM Vertical Tube Rotor (Made in Ireland)

The Beckman Coulter VTI 65.1 is a high-speed vertical tube rotor engineered for analytical and preparative ultracentrifugation applications requiring maximum resolution and rapid sedimentation. With a maximum speed of 65,000 RPM, the VTI 65.1 provides extremely high relative centrifugal force, making it ideal for purifying viruses, nucleic acids, lipoproteins, membranes, and other fine biological particles.

Vertical rotors dramatically reduce run times compared to swinging-bucket designs by minimizing diffusion distance—making the VTI 65.1 one of the preferred solutions for high-efficiency gradient separations.

This unit is manufactured in Ireland and is in excellent physical and operational condition.
