ROTOFIX 32 A - The timeless classic among laboratory Centrifuges
A reliable companion for today’s lab routines
In a time when laboratory equipment is frequently replaced by newer models, the ROTOFIX 32 A from Hettich proves that true quality never goes out of style. This robust benchtop centrifuge has established itself over the years as a trusted laboratory workhorse – and enjoys cult status among users around the world.
Proven technology meets timeless functionality
The ROTOFIX 32 A embodies the principle of “form follows function” in its purest form. Its distinctive design and solid construction make it instantly recognizable to lab professionals. What began years ago as a modern centrifuge has evolved into a true classic that remains indispensable in many laboratories today.
“Some things don’t need to be reinvented,” says Dr. Peter Kunze, Head of Sales at Hettich. “I regularly visit customer labs around the world where this model has been running for more than a decade – without any complaints and with users proud of its reliable performance.”
Versatility as a key to success
What sets the ROTOFIX 32 A apart is its impressive versatility. A wide range of compatible rotors and adapters makes it suitable for many applications – from clinical routines and microbiological testing to quality control in industrial settings. This flexibility makes it the ideal tool for labs with changing needs.
Old-school usability
In an era dominated by touchscreens and digital interfaces, the ROTOFIX 32 A offers refreshingly intuitive operation. The clear, manual controls allow even new staff to get started quickly without lengthy training. This user-friendliness is another reason for the model’s lasting popularity.
Sustainability that pays off
In today’s fast-paced technology landscape, the ROTOFIX 32 A stands for durability and long-term value. Its robust construction, extended lifespan, and continued service support – including long-term availability of spare parts – make it a sustainable and economical alternative to frequent replacements.
“In times when sustainability is becoming increasingly important, the ROTOFIX 32 A is a prime example of how durable lab equipment can contribute to conserving resources,” emphasizes Bernd Butterhof, Hettich’s Quality and Environmental Management Officer.
Innovation meets tradition: The new Medical Device version
Last year, this trusted classic received an important update: Hettich now offers the ROTOFIX 32 A in a version compliant with MDR 2017/745. This version meets all regulatory requirements for use in medical diagnostics and clinical research.
“With the Medical Device version, we’re responding to a growing trend in the healthcare sector,” explains Florian Betz, Product Manager at Andreas Hettich GmbH. “We’ve kept the proven core of the device and implemented all necessary modifications to meet the demanding requirements of this field.”
This evolution shows that even an established classic can continue to innovate – without compromising on its original strengths.
Conclusion: A classic built for the future
The ROTOFIX 32 A is living proof that a well-thought-out design and high manufacturing quality never go out of date. In a lab environment shaped by rapid innovation cycles, this classic has earned its place.
With the new Medical Device version, this proven all-rounder is well equipped for the future. For many users, the question is clear: Why replace something that still works perfectly – and now offers even more?
The ROTOFIX 32 A – a true “oldie but goldie” among lab centrifuges that remains as relevant as ever in today’s laboratories.
