Benchtop centrifuges
Specialists in diversity
Hettich manufactures a complete range of benchtop centrifuges for nearly every standard laboratory application. Multiple units, rotors and accessories ensure throughput demands are met, no matter what the volume. Robust and steady temperature control systems ensure your samples are kept at the optimal sample temperature, with both cooled and heated models available. In addition to standard laboratory applications, many specialty applications can be accommodated via our vast library of accessories and our custom built options for those have unique challenges.
Hettich offers a wide range of general-purpose benchtop centrifuges suitable for nearly any standard laboratory application. Our products provide reliable, long-term solutions to support your laboratory as it grows and evolves.
Specialty accessories extend our centrifuge capabilities beyond standard clinical labs into agriculture, food and beverage, petrochemical industries, and more. Various temperature control options are also available for precise and reliable results.
- Versatile rotors for multiple applications, reducing the need for extra hardware
- Accessories to meet all capacity and specification requirements
- Optional bio-containment and phenol-resistant lids for safe handling of hazardous samples
- Moveable cabinets for extra storage and easy portability
Hettich benchtop centrifuges stand out for their versatility. Equipped with a wide range of accessories, they can handle nearly all standard applications. They are commonly used in clinical laboratories, food labs, and agricultural settings.
What sets them apart from small centrifuges are their larger capacity, the option to cool or heat samples, and their higher speeds, making them suitable for more demanding laboratory tasks.
During centrifugation, the rotor chamber heats up due to air friction and motor-generated heat. The longer or faster the run, the higher the temperature. Standard laboratory centrifuges have an air cooling system to remove some of this heat.
However, many samples are thermally sensitive and must be processed within a specific temperature range. Refrigerated centrifuges with a coolant circuit and controlled cooling unit maintain these temperatures. Depending on the device, the preferred centrifugation temperature can be set anywhere between -20°C and +40°C, ensuring sample integrity.
The actively heated centrifuge heats up quickly from room temperature to 90°C.
Hettich offers three different cytodiagnostic systems.
They can be used in the following centrifuges, depending on the system:
- ROTOFIX 32 A
- UNIVERSAL 320 | 320 R
- ROTINA 380 | 380 R
- ROTINA 420 | 420 R
- ROTANTA 460 | 460 R
- ROTIXA 500 RS
Our cytology brochure provides a summary of these options.
