ITEM NUMBER DESCRIPTION OF SUPPLIES/SERVICES QUANTITY UNIT UNIT PRICE AMOUNT 0001 optima xe 90 ivd ultracentrifuge LOCAL STOCK NUMBER: a99833 0002 sw 40 ti swinging bucket rotor LOCAL STOCK NUMBER: 331302 Specifications, Purpose, and Objectives 2.1 PERFORMANCE It has a 15 LCD display with ± 45 ° horizontal and vertical tilt for easy operation (even with gloved hands) and viewing from virtually anywhere in the lab. It has a speed control of ± 2 rpm at steady state and temperature control of ± 0.5oC ( ± 0.8oC when using SW 32 swinging bucket rotor) after equilibrium. Speeds must be accurately reproducible between runs and temperature must be strictly controlled to preclude sample degradation during centrifugation. The drive is covered by a 10-year warranty. It has a heating/cooling system that does not use compressors or chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs). The thermoelectric heating/cooling unit provides fast chamber/rotor refrigeration or heating and does not require any compressors, reducing instrument down time and heat and noise levels. It has an air-cooled direct drive system that requires no gears, brushes, oil vacuum seal, external oil reservoir, or continuously-operating damper. This provides efficient operation and extends the life of the instrument. Air cooling eliminates chlorofluorocarbons and compressors which results in less instrument down time and less output of heat and noise. It operates at a noise level below 51 dBa. It achieves vacuum level below 5 microns (0.7 Pa). It consumes no more than 60W of power while idling (powered on, but not running). It has available Near Vertical Tube (NVT) rotors to maximize lipoprotein and plasmid DNA separations for speed and purity. It is compatible with all currently-produced Beckman Coulter floor preparative ultracentrifuge rotors. It has tube options including: OptiSeal (for easy sealing without tools), Quick-Seal (fast heat-sealing), and g-Max (shortens separation times by up to 50 percent). It is designed and tested as a system with Beckman Coulter rotors, tubes and accessories. 2.2 SOFTWARE It has an interactive touchscreen interface, which includes: Software available in local language for easy, error-free operation, with the option to select other languages including: English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Chinese (Simplified), Japanese, Korean, and Russian. On-screen, context-sensitive help. Multiple acceleration and deceleration profiles. Flexibility in acceleration and deceleration are essential if procedures are to be done correctly and reproducibly. Up to 10 acceleration and 11 deceleration rates are available for any run. Setting up a run by specifying RCF (relative centrifugal force), 2t (accumulated centrifugal effect), substitute rotor and tube combination, or sedimentation coefficient. Rotor and tube catalogs containing pertinent information about Beckman Coulter ultracentrifuge rotors and tubes Information on chemical compatibility with centrifugation accessories. On-board operator s manual. It has a delayed start function so the run will start and end at times that meet the users needs. It has (3) USB ports to allow data export to a spreadsheet program such as Microsoft Excel. 2.3 SAFETY Offers a Biosafe option with HEPA filter for work with viruses and other dangerous samples that protects laboratory personnel in case of a leak in the centrifuge. It has a Dynamic Rotor Inertia Check system (DRIC) and a speed disk to ensure rotors are not run above their rated speed. As the rotor accelerates between 15000 and 20000 rpm, the instrument checks the rotor inertia and calculates the rotor energy for the speed set by the user. If the calculated rotor energy is excessive, the instrument stops the run with braking to avoid possible damage. It utilizes a rotor speed disk recognition system for checking the maximum speed allowable for each rotor. The system will check the speed at 600 rpm and if it is set too high the system will automatically lower it to an allowable speed and continue the run while posting an error message on the display. 2.4 INSTALLATION It allows for no greater than 82.5 cm (32.5 in) depth for installation to minimize obstruction of nearby walk-through areas. It is able to meet instrument specifications for temperature control of samples at ambient temperatures ranging between 10 35 °C in the lab or equipment room. 2.5 SPECIFICATIONS Speed range: 1,000 rpm to 90,000 rpm in 100 rpm increments Maximum RCF: 694,00 x g Speed control, actual rotor speed: +/- 2 rpm at steady state (above 1000 rpm) Time: up to 999 hours 59 minutes, including Hold runs. Time display: remaining time in timed runs, time elapsed in hold runs, or estimated time remaining in w2t runs Temp range: 0 to 40 °C in 1 °C increments Temp control: ± 0.5 °C of set temp after equilibration ( ± 0.8oC when using SW 32 swinging bucket rotor) Ambient temp range: 10 to 35 °C Accel/Decel: 10 accel profiles, 11 decel profiles including coast. Max heat output under steady state conditions: 3400 Btu/hr (1.0 kW) Noise level (1m in front of instrument): < 51 dBa Vacuum level, below 5 microns (0.7 Pa) Dimension: 94.0 cm (37 in) wide; 68.1 cm (26.8 in) deep; 125.7 cm (49.5 in) tall Weight: 485 kg (1068 lb) Manufactured in the USA in an ISO 13485 registered facility for the highest quality. The centrifuge has been designed and tested to meet the standards and regulations 3.
