Hermle | Z496-K High Capacity Underbench & Floor Standing Centrifuge | Ultra High Volume, Multi-Rotor, Refrigerated Laboratory Centrifuge for Tubes, Bottles & Blood Bags
At Alto Med Supply, we offer the Hermle Z496-K High Volume Centrifuge, designed to meet demanding laboratory needs with ultra-high capacity and versatile functionality.
This advanced centrifuge is available in two models: a floor-standing version with a convenient storage drawer and a compact underbench model measuring just 27.5 inches in height, ideal for saving space in busy lab environments.
The Z496-K supports an impressive range of sample volumes, accommodating up to 4 x 1000ml bottles, 98 x 15ml tubes, or 40 x 50ml tubes per run, and can also accept 500ml or 750ml blood bags.
Multiple rotor options, including a popular 4-position swinging bucket rotor, allow for flexible centrifugation of tubes, bottles, plates, and blood bags, with rectangular buckets that hold microplates or various tube inserts for optimal sample capacity.
Equipped with advanced microprocessor controls, the centrifuge automatically identifies the rotor and converts speed to relative centrifugal force (RCF), ensuring safe operation within rotor limits.
Users can store and recall up to 99 programs, adjust acceleration and deceleration rates, and switch between RPM and RCF modes using the intuitive front panel.
A powerful refrigeration system maintains chamber temperatures from -20°C to 40°C, with a precool function for rapid temperature optimization.
Both models come with caster wheels for easy maneuverability within the lab.
Whether you need a high volume, reliable centrifuge for routine or specialized applications, the Hermle Z496-K series available at Alto Med Supply is engineered to deliver exceptional performance and flexibility
