Hettich Benchtop centrifuge ROTOFIX 46

Hettich Benchtop centrifuge ROTOFIX 46

Centrifuges for use in research and industrial laboratories should ideally be robust and able to cope with the demands of such environments, and have a wide range of accessories for routine applications. They should also enable solutions for special situations. They must therefore be able to hold special sample tubes and in many cases enable the temperature of the samples to be controlled.

To carry out standardized methods for crude oil testing the sample tubes can be centrifuged in the heatable ROTOFIX 46 H at the specified temperatures (up to 90 °C). Suitable tubes for this application are those designed to meet the requirements of the American Society for Testing Materials (ASTM).

The sulphuric acid content of chrome baths can be determined by using chrome bath tubes. The method, which is intended to provide quality assurance information, is not only of interest to public and private test bodies, but also for the operators of the baths who wish to carry out the regularly necessary sulphate determinations themselves.

Angle rotor (6 place, for Schlenk tubes) is suited for centrifuging Schlenk tubes widely used in organometallic chemistry and coordination complex chemistry. Substances that have been prepared in Schlenk tubes can also be separated in them through centrifugation where necessary.

The ROTOFIX 46 /46 H offers various features to make operation easier, such as:

• Rotary opening mechanism so that the centrifuge can be easily opened and closed
• Ergonomic operating and information panel
• 10 programmable memories
• The parameter combination last selected is retained after the centrifuge is switched off
• After entry of the rotor radius r in mm it is possible to switch between display of rpm and the relative centrifugal force (RCF) by pressing the RCF button
• The parameters can be rapidly entered and changed using the rotary button

The ROTOFIX 46 / 46 H contributes to safety in the workplace. This centrifuge offers the following safety features:

• Lid locking and latching mechanism
• Automatic rotor recognition
• Imbalance switch-off
• Emergency lid release
• Lid dropping prevention mechanism
• Motor overheating protection
• Chamber overheating protection

This compact centrifuge has attractive design features such as:

• Metal casing
• Metal lid
• Centrifugation chamber made of rust-free stainless steel
• View port in the lid

Advantages ROTOFIX 46:

• This centrifuge can be used for special applications such as the quality testing of chrome baths.
• The centrifuge rotors can hold special tubes such as ASTM tubes, Schlenk tubes and chrome bath tubes.
• Simple to use thanks to the ergonomic control and information panel.
• Automatic rotor recognition
• Reliable lid locking

Advantages ROTOFIX 46 H:

• This centrifuge can be used for special applications such as the crude oil test procedure specified by the ASTM, the manufacture of microfluidic chips and the quality testing of chrome baths.
• The ROTOFIX 46 H has a comprehensive range of rotors to hold special tubes and standard tubes up to 250 ml.
• The temperature can be set to any value in the range +10 °C to +90 °C (depending on the ambient temperature).
• Pre-heating function

As their designated purpose is for general laboratory use only, the ROTOFIX 46 and 46 H are no medical products according to the IvD Directive. These centrifuges must, therefore, not be used for medical analyses or diagnostic purposes (clinical chemistry) within the scope of the IvD Directive.
