EquipmentOptima AUC Ultracentrifuge

• Beckman Coulter Optima AUC Ultracentrifuge The AUC Ultracentrifuge is the only one of its kind in Aotearoa New Zealand and is the flagship model in the New Zealand Centre of Analytical Ultracentrifugation based here at the University of Canterbury. Features Include: Max Speed: 50,000 rpm 201,600 xg Multiwavelength Absorbance Detection The New Zealand Analytical Ultracentrifugation Centre (NZAUC) is the only centre of its kind in New Zealand. The analytical ultracentrifuge allows researchers to probe the molecular mass of biomolecules in solution and to characterise interactions between different biomolecules (e.g. protein-DNA interactions). Developments in instrumentation and data analysis have greatly increased the potential of the facility to deal with complicated systems, including inorganic crystalline nanoparticles and interactions within cell lysates and food, and to provide information complementary to other techniques, such as surface plasmon resonance (SPR). The AUC is accessible to outside organisations on a contract or collaborative basis. For more information contact biomolecular@canterbury.ac.nz.
