Optima™ AUC
- Enables sample recovery
- Avoids dilution effects
- Analyzes samples in a matrix-free environment
- Has minimal buffer constraints
Beckman Coulter introduced the first AUC sample characterization instrument to help the scientific community power new discoveries. That tradition continues into the 21st century with the new Optima™ AUC system.
This latest tool is the most robust technology for providing data used to determine protein molecular weight in basic protein research and quantification of aggregation levels for academic and biopharma research.
