Equipment Description

Hettich ROTINA 35 Refrigerated Centrifuge

Short intro: The Hettich ROTINA 35 refrigerated centrifuge is a compact, high-capacity benchtop platform that brings precise cooling, high RCF performance, and a broad rotor ecosystem to busy clinical and research labs. From blood collection tubes to 50 mL conicals and microplates, it delivers consistent, repeatable separations with low noise and straightforward operation.

Why choose the Hettich ROTINA 35 refrigerated centrifuge

The Hettich ROTINA 35 refrigerated centrifuge consolidates multiple workflows into one dependable instrument. Interchangeable swing-out and angle rotors let you pivot between serum/plasma prep, cell pelleting, and plate spins in minutes, while digital control maintains exact RPM/RCF, time, and temperature throughout the run. The refrigerated chamber keeps samples within setpoint—critical for temperature-sensitive analytes—and the quiet, well-balanced drive reduces vibration for flatter serum lines and tighter pellets. Safety is built-in with automatic lid locking, imbalance detection, and overspeed protection. For routine users, program storage and clear status prompts shorten setup and reduce training time.

Key features & specifications

• Cooling & temperature control: precise, programmable refrigeration to protect temperature-sensitive samples during long or high-speed runs.

• Rotor flexibility: wide range of swing-out rotors (blood tubes, 15/50 mL conicals, bottles, microplates) and angle rotors for high-g pellets.

• Performance: high RCF capability (model/rotor dependent) with smooth acceleration/deceleration profiles, including soft-brake options to preserve gradients.

• Control & convenience: digital RPM/RCF selection, time/temp programming, user programs, and clear run status on an easy-read display.

• Safety: auto-locking lid, imbalance & overspeed protection, steel chamber, and robust drive engineered for long service life.

• Ergonomics & noise: low operating noise for shared spaces; easy-clean chamber and tool-free rotor swaps keep turnaround fast.
  (Exact max RPM/RCF and capacities vary by rotor/configuration—confirm via the official datasheet.)

Applications

• Clinical/diagnostics: serum and plasma preparation from blood collection tubes, stable gel barriers, and urine sediment prep.

• Research & cell culture: pellets from 15/50 mL conicals, nucleic-acid precipitation, debris clarification, and cell harvesting with gentle braking to preserve viability.

• QA/QC & industry: clarification of suspensions/emulsions and routine process checks where repeatability and throughput matter.

• Plate workflows: compatible carriers for microplates enable rapid spin-downs and plate-based protocols.

What’s included

Typical supply includes the benchtop centrifuge body with refrigerated controller, power lead, and one primary rotor (swing-out or angle) with buckets/adapters as specified. Additional rotors, sealed buckets, microplate carriers, and adapters for tubes/bottles can be added to match your protocols. Each unit can be professionally inspected, cleaned, and function-tested prior to delivery.

Installation, training & support

We can assist with delivery, positioning, and start-up verification. Operator training covers rotor selection, balancing best practices, RCF vs RPM conversion, and routine care. Preventive-maintenance plans, calibration checks, and replacement consumables (lids, gaskets, buckets, adapters) are available to protect uptime and result consistency.
