Product Description
The Hermle Z496-K offers the highest tube and bottle capacity in the Hermle-Benchmark line, in a floor-standing refrigerated design. Its 4-position swing-out rotor handles up to 4 x 1,000 mL, and rectangular buckets accept microplates or inserts for up to 40 x 50 mL or 96 x 15 mL conical tubes per run.
Blood bag buckets and a wide range of inserts make it suited to blood processing and large-volume harvesting. Automatic rotor identification prevents over-speed. Please note: this model is available in 230V only. 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 – automatic rcf conversion for the installed rotor
- 99-program memory – store and recall routine protocols
- Maintenance-free induction motor – quiet, powerful and long-lasting
- Safety systems – motorized lid lock and imbalance detection with automatic shutdown
- Highest capacity in the line – 4 x 1,000 mL swing-out
