Beckman Coulter Avanti J-25 High-Speed Refrigerated Floor Model Centrifuge

The Beckman Coulter Avanti J-25 High-Speed Refrigerated Floor Model Centrifuge is a refurbished laboratory centrifuge designed for biotechnology companies, pharmaceutical manufacturers, clinical laboratories, academic research institutions, genomics laboratories, and pilot-scale bioprocessing facilities. The Avanti J-25 combines high-speed refrigerated performance, broad rotor compatibility, and large-volume processing capabilities, making it an excellent choice for laboratories requiring exceptional versatility across research and production workflows.

Laboratories evaluating high-speed refrigerated floor model centrifuges often compare maximum speed, maximum centrifugal force, rotor compatibility, sample capacity, refrigeration performance, workflow flexibility, and long-term reliability when selecting a centrifuge system. The Beckman Avanti J-25 delivers speeds up to 25,000 RPM, centrifugal forces up to 75,000 × g, and processes up to 4 liters per run, depending on the installed rotor. It also supports high-force microplate applications and can accommodate up to 10 microplates with compatible rotor configurations.

At American Instrument Exchange, our technicians inspect and test each centrifuge to verify proper refrigeration performance, motor operation, braking systems, lid lock functionality, rotor operation, and controller performance prior to shipment. American Instrument Exchange offers used and refurbished laboratory centrifuges for sale, including refrigerated centrifuges, floor model centrifuges, benchtop centrifuges, microcentrifuges, and large-capacity bioprocessing centrifuge systems from leading manufacturers including Beckman Coulter, Thermo Scientific, Eppendorf, and more.
