Hettich Cyto rotor 12-place for Benchtop centrifuge in Accessories

Hettich Zyto-Rotor 12-place for bench centrifuge

The Hettich Zyto-Rotor 12-place for bench centrifuge is a high-capacity solution for laboratories that rely on efficient, safe and reliable centrifugation of samples. Specially developed for applications in blood group serology, clinical diagnostics and biomedical research, this rotor impresses with its tailor-made compatibility with Hettich bench-top centrifuges and its robustness in continuous operation. Unlike smaller rotor variants, laboratories benefit from a significantly increased number of samples per run with the 12-place model, which leads to optimised workflows and reduced process times.

Precision and capacity for demanding laboratory workflows

With its capacity for 12 samples, the Zyto rotor is the ideal choice for laboratories that routinely process larger sample volumes. Its solid construction supports high speeds and ensures safe, low-vibration operation even at maximum load. The rotor is made of special alloyed, durable materials with excellent chemical resistance - a decisive advantage when frequently changing between different sample types and reagents. Technical highlights: Capacity: 12 samples (suitable blood tubes or reagent vessels depending on model type)

The sophisticated design enables homogeneous rotation distribution, allowing even sensitive samples to be reliably separated without compromising the cell material. Another advantage is the low-maintenance construction, which allows long service life without subsequent adjustments.

Certifications and standards

The quality of the rotor is documented by several international standards:

• CE marking in accordance with the European Medical Devices Directive
• Complies with relevant DIN standards for laboratory equipment (e.g. DIN EN ISO 61010 for the safety of electrical measuring, control, regulation and laboratory equipment)
• Manufactured under strict quality management systems (ISO 9001 / ISO 13485, if specified in the manufacturer's portfolio) These certifications ensure reliable and low-risk laboratory operation.

Specific application examples

Thanks to its design, the Zyto-Rotor is particularly suitable for the following applications:

• Blood group serology: Sample preparation and centrifugation in the determination of blood groups and cross-matching, especially in transfusion laboratories and blood banks.
• Separation of blood components: Effective separation of plasma, serum and cellular components in routine diagnostics and laboratory analysis.
• Cytological analyses: Centrifugation of cell preparations for cytospin examinations and detection of tumour cells or other cell structures.
• Research and development: Applications in biomedical research, such as lymphocyte isolation, cell culture processing, sample preparation for molecular biological analyses.

Typical sample types include whole blood, plasma, serum, cell culture supernatants and occasionally cerebrospinal fluid or urine, depending on the laboratory's requirements.

FAQs

How many samples can be processed simultaneously?

• The rotor can hold up to twelve individual samples, thus increasing efficiency at high throughput.

Which Hettich bench centrifuges are compatible?

• Compatibility exists with various Hettich bench centrifuges (e.g. models from the EBA series). Always check the manufacturer's compatibility guide before use.

How resistant is the material to chemicals?

• The special materials used are highly resistant to most chemicals commonly used in laboratory diagnostics and ensure a long service life.

What safety standards must be observed?

• The rotor is CE-certified and complies with the relevant DIN standards for laboratory equipment. It must be used in accordance with occupational health and safety guidelines.

Are there any spare parts or accessories?

• Accessories such as suitable adapters, inserts or replacement lids are available from the manufacturer or authorised dealers.
