AUC Tools Overview

The Spin Analytical AUC Cell Washer is a simple, stand alone, fault tolerant device for washing AUC cells without time consuming disassembly and reassembly. This unique tool creates reproducible cell washing, rinsing and drying protocols, allows the cell to remain assembled, and is faster than manual cleaning.

Spin Analytical’s torque stand combines the strengths of older style stands, resulting in a superior tool. Our torque stand uses a key which engages the slots in the bottom of the cell housing to prevent rotation and a clamp that holds the cell in place and prevents it from slipping out of the holder during cell assembly.

The Spin CAT tool is used to align cells in standard 4- or 8-hole rotors used with the Beckman XL-A/XL-I analytical ultracentrifuge. The tool replaces the align by eye method of aligning cells and is guaranteed to reproducibly align the cell to 0.1 degree when used with Spin Analytical cell housings.

The cell component press is a tool for safely ejecting the parts of an AUC cell, from the cell housing. In some cases, cell components can become stuck in the cell housing and can be extremely difficult to remove. The cell component press can be used to remove these stuck components.
