Beckman Coulter Type 50.2 Ti Fixed-Angle Centrifuge Rotor

Overview

The Beckman Coulter Type 50.2 Ti is a high-performance titanium fixed-angle rotor designed for ultra-high-speed centrifugation. It’s widely used in molecular biology, biochemistry, and virology labs for applications requiring extreme centrifugal force and chemical resistance.

Manufactured from solid titanium, this rotor offers excellent durability, corrosion resistance, and long service life under demanding ultracentrifuge conditions.
