Product Description
LIGHT LABS is proud to offer the Hermle Z206-1820 Fixed Angle Rotor — a high-capacity 18-place, 45° fixed angle rotor specifically designed for use with the Hermle Z208-A and Z206-A Compact Centrifuges. Accommodating 18 x 1.5 mL or 2.0 mL microtubes simultaneously, the Z206-1820 is the ideal rotor for molecular biology labs requiring high-throughput microtube centrifugation in a compact benchtop centrifuge format.
A standout feature of the Z206-1820 is its remarkably fast acceleration and deceleration profile — reaching maximum speed in just 11 seconds and coming to a full stop in just 10 seconds — making it one of the fastest-cycling microtube rotors available for compact centrifuges in its class. At a maximum speed of 6,000 RPM and a maximum RCF of 2,938 x g, the Z206-1820 provides ample centrifugal force for a wide range of molecular biology, clinical, and research applications. Manufactured by Hermle Labortechnik GmbH (Germany) to rigorous quality standards and backed by a 3-year manufacturer warranty, the Z206-1820 is a reliable, long-lasting addition to any lab equipped with the Z208-A or Z206-A. LIGHT LABS is your trusted source for Hermle centrifuge rotors and accessories.
