Major Products/Services

Beckman Coulter provides a range of solutions to simplify, automate, and innovate complex biomedical testing. As the leader in capillary electrophoresis technology, we provide CE solutions that separate and characterize molecules, including counter-ions, nucleic acids, basic drugs, enantiomers, proteins, and carbohydrates, with high efficiency and reproducibility. Capillary electrophoresis solutions include the PA 800 plus Pharmaceutical Analysis System, PA 800 Protein Characterization System, and the P/ACE MDQ. Beckman Coulter's XL-A/XL-I Analytical Ultracentrifuge with native condition capability provides the ideal solution to satisfying the demands of the drug discovery process by characterizing a protein's behavior in free solution under physiological concentrations, temperatures, and buffer conditions.
