OptiMATE Gradient Maker For Centrifugation
Source: Danaher Life Sciences
The OptiMATE Gradient Maker simplifies the laborious and error-prone density gradient centrifugation process into an easy-to-maintain operation by automating nearly all pre-centrifuge steps, including gradient preparation, accurate dispensing, and tube sealing, significantly reducing run times without sacrificing purity or yield. The OptiMATE Gradient Maker has achieved the ACT label in the US, EU, and UK.
Features of the OptiMATE Gradient Maker
