HETTICH Universal centrifuge

HETTICH Universal Centrifuge

Short intro: The HETTICH Universal centrifuge is a versatile, bench-top workhorse for clinical and research labs. With interchangeable swing-out and angle rotors, broad tube compatibility, and intuitive controls, it delivers reliable separations from routine serum spins to demanding high-RCF protocols.

Why choose the HETTICH Universal centrifuge

The HETTICH Universal centrifuge consolidates multiple workflows into one compact instrument. Rapid tool-free rotor changes let you switch from blood collection tubes and conicals to microtubes or plates in minutes, while digital control ensures precise RPM/RCF, time, and temperature (model-dependent, with refrigerated variants). A quiet, well-balanced drive minimises vibration for consistent pellets and flat serum lines, and safety features—automatic lid lock, imbalance detection, and dynamic braking—protect users and samples during every run. Clear program storage shortens setup for routine methods, helping teams maintain throughput on busy benches.

Key features & specifications

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

  • Performance: high RCF capability (model/rotor dependent) with smooth acceleration/deceleration profiles to protect delicate layers.

  • Control & convenience: digital RPM/RCF selection, programmable time, soft/quick brake options, and user programs for repeatable protocols.

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

  • Ergonomics: low noise, easy-clean chamber, clear display, and accessories for easy balancing and labeling.

  • Refrigeration (optional): refrigerated models maintain set temperatures during prolonged or high-speed runs to protect temperature-sensitive samples.
    (Exact specs—max RPM/RCF, capacities—vary by rotor/model; confirm via manufacturer datasheet.)

Applications

  • Clinical/diagnostics: serum and plasma preparation from blood collection tubes with stable gel barriers.

  • Research: pellets from 15/50 mL conicals, DNA/RNA prep in microtubes/strip-tubes, phase separation, and protein precipitation.

  • Cell culture: harvesting cells with gentle braking to preserve viability; media clarification and debris removal.

  • QA/QC & industry: clarification of suspensions, emulsions, and process samples where repeatability matters.

What’s included

Typical supply includes the bench-top centrifuge body with digital controller, power lead, and one primary rotor (swing-out or angle) with buckets/adapters as specified. Additional rotors, microplate carriers, sealed buckets, and adapters for tubes/bottles can be added to tailor capacity and g-force to your protocols.

Installation, training & support

We can assist with delivery, positioning, and start-up verification, plus operator training covering rotor selection, RCF vs RPM conversion, and best-practice balancing. Preventive maintenance plans, calibration checks, and replacement consumables (lids, gaskets, buckets, adapters) are available to keep uptime high and results consistent.

Best-practice tips

  • Match rotor and adapter to the tube type/volume; balance by mass, not just volume.

  • Use RCF (×g) when transferring methods between rotors; avoid overfilling and inspect tubes for micro-cracks.

  • For temperature-sensitive work, pre-cool refrigerated units and rotors; select gentle brake profiles to preserve phase boundaries.
