Product Description
LIGHT LABS is proud to offer the Hermle Z206-0605 Swing-Out Rotor — the premier clinical rotor option for the Hermle Z208-A and Z206-A Compact Centrifuges, and the only swing-out rotor in the Z208-A/Z206-A rotor lineup. Designed specifically for clinical laboratory applications requiring horizontal separation within 5 mL blood collection (Vacutainer®-style) tubes, the Z206-0605 holds 6 x 5 mL tubes in swing-out buckets that rotate to a full 90° horizontal position during centrifugation.
This horizontal separation capability is a critical advantage for clinical labs working with gel-barrier separator vacutainer tubes — the swing-out motion allows the gel barrier to lay completely flat during the spin, ensuring clean, complete separation of serum or plasma from cellular components. With a maximum speed of 4,000 RPM and a maximum RCF of 1,896 x g, and ultrafast acceleration (8 seconds) and deceleration (7 seconds) profiles, the Z206-0605 is engineered for fast, reliable clinical tube processing. Manufactured by Hermle Labortechnik GmbH (Germany) to rigorous quality standards and backed by a 3-year manufacturer warranty, the Z206-0605 is the essential rotor for clinical labs and physician office laboratories using the Z208-A or Z206-A. LIGHT LABS is your trusted source for Hermle centrifuge rotors and accessories.
