Product Description
LIGHT LABS is proud to offer the Hermle Z206-0410 Swing-Out Rotor — a 4-place, 90° swing-out rotor designed for the Hermle Z208-A and Z206-A Compact Centrifuges and purpose-built for clinical laboratories processing larger 8–10 mL blood collection tubes. As one of two swing-out rotor options for the Z208-A and Z206-A lineup, the Z206-0410 complements the 6-place Z206-0605 (5 mL tubes) by providing horizontal separation capability for the larger-volume vacutainer tubes commonly used in phlebotomy and clinical chemistry applications.
Like all Hermle swing-out rotors, the Z206-0410 swings its buckets to a full 90° horizontal position during centrifugation — allowing gel barriers in separator vacutainer tubes to lay completely flat for clean, complete separation of serum or plasma from cellular components. At a maximum speed of 4,200 RPM and a maximum RCF of 2,406 x g, the Z206-0410 delivers reliable centrifugal force for a wide range of clinical blood processing applications. Manufactured by Hermle Labortechnik GmbH (Germany) to rigorous quality standards and backed by a 3-year manufacturer warranty, the Z206-0410 is the ideal choice for clinical labs processing larger-volume blood collection tubes in the Z208-A or Z206-A. LIGHT LABS is your trusted source for Hermle centrifuge rotors and accessories.
KEY FEATURES
- 4-place swing-out rotor — buckets rotate to full 90° horizontal position during centrifugation
- Specifically designed for 8–10 mL blood collection (Vacutainer®-style) tubes — larger format than the 6-place Z206-0605 (5 mL)
- Horizontal separation allows gel barrier in vacutainer tubes to lay completely flat — essential for clean serum/plasma separation in clinical applications
- Maximum speed: 4,200 RPM / 2,406 x g — higher RCF than the Z206-0605 for more efficient separation
- Compatible with Hermle Z208-A and Z206-A Compact Centrifuges
- Ideal for physician office laboratories, clinical labs, and point-of-care settings requiring larger blood tube processing
- Manufactured by Hermle Labortechnik GmbH (Germany) to rigorous quality standards
- 3-year manufacturer warranty
