Andreas Hettich GmbH & Co.KG announces a centrifuge model especially interesting for users who work with special tubes. Suitable carriers and adapters for additional non-standard tubes can be customised on request. The centrifuge is available in a standard version or with heating up to 70 °C.
Both model variants feature10 programmable memories and are quick and easy to operate. The parameters – RPM (speed), RCF, running time, run up time, run down time and temperature (with the heating version) - are selected with the SELECT key. An adjusting knob is used to set the values, and the settings are stored by pressing the Start/Impulse key.

CentrifugesCentrifuges are used to separate particulates suspended in a liquid via the application of a centrifugal force including cells, macromolecules, nanoparticles and precipitates. Centrifuges come in three sizes: microcentrifuges, benchtop and floor-standing centrifuges, depending on the volume and number of samples that require separation. When choosing a centrifuge, consider its maximum separation power indicated by its relative centrifugal force (RCF) value. Low force centrifuges reach a maximum RCF of 8,000 g, high-force centrifuges can reach maximum RCF values of 80,000 g. For extremely high forces, consider ultracentrifuges (up to 800,000 g). Refrigerated and vacuum centrifuges also known as concentrators are available for more specialized applications. A range of volumes are available for centrifuge tubes and microfuge tubes, depending on sample sizes.
