Product Description
Temperature-sensitive samples stay protected in the Hermle Z216-MK refrigerated microcentrifuge. A compressor-driven cooling system holds temperatures from -20°C to 40°C and brings the chamber from room temperature to 4°C in under 10 minutes.
It shares the Z216 platform's 15,000 rpm (21,631 xg) performance and ten rotor options, including a 44-place dual-row rotor, PCR strip, hematocrit and 5 mL rotors. Rotors are sold separately. LIGHT LABS stocks the full Hermle line, so the right accessory is always within reach.
Key Features
- Automatic rotor identification – the centrifuge recognizes the installed rotor and limits speed to its maximum
- Speed in rpm or rcf – set and display either value
- Program memory – store frequently used runs
- Maintenance-free induction motor – quiet, long service life
- Safety systems – automatic lid lock and imbalance detection with automatic shutdown
- Powerful refrigeration – room temperature to 4°C in under 10 minutes
