Hettich ROTANTA 460 RF bench centrifuge (with cooling)

The Hettich ROTANTA 460 RF bench centrifuge (with cooling) delivers first-class performance for sample preparation in medical, biotechnological and diagnostic laboratories. Thanks to its powerful cooling function and flexible rotor options, this model is ideal wherever high sample throughput and reliable cooling precision are required. Its innovative technology, intelligent safety systems and exceptionally high rotor diversity make it the preferred device for advanced routine or research applications in specialist laboratories.

Flexibility and performance for demanding laboratory processes

With a maximum speed of 15,000 rpm and an RCF of up to 24,400 xg, the ROTANTA 460 RF covers a wide range of applications - from the rapid separation of small blood samples to demanding high-throughput analyses. The continuously adjustable cooling from -20 to +40 °C enables safe sample processing even with temperature-sensitive substances. The microprocessor-controlled user interface ensures user-friendly programming and precise control of various centrifugation cycles. Technical highlights at a glance:

Maximum speed: 15,000 rpm

Highest RCF value: 24,400 xg

Capacity (swing-out rotor): 4 x 750 ml

Capacity (angle rotor): 6 x 250 ml

Cooling range: -20 °C to +40 °C, continuously adjustable

Dimensions (H x W x D): 961 x 554 x 697 mm

Weight: approx. 164 kg

The intuitive microprocessor control allows you to select a wide variety of programmes, stored routines and individual command sequences. The running times can be set precisely between 1 second and 99 hours, 59 minutes, 59 seconds (including continuous and short runs), making it easy to control even very specific protocols in a reproducible manner.

The flexible rotor system is particularly noteworthy: in addition to the swing-out rotor for up to 4 x 750 ml and the angle rotor for up to 6 x 250 ml, other rotor types are also available. These include rotors for up to 30 x 1.5/2.0 ml sample tubes and even for centrifuging up to 12 microtiter plates simultaneously - a big plus for laboratories with frequently changing tasks. The benchtop centrifuge is also optimised for quiet operation and impresses with its robust, durable design. The interface and voltage options can be expanded on request so that the device can also be used reliably in special environments. Safety standards and certifications The ROTANTA 460 RF meets the highest safety requirements according to EN / IEC 61326-1, Class B, and is classified as a medical device in accordance with Directive 93/42/EEC. The integrated fault diagnosis and safety system protects against incorrect rotor placement, detects imbalances and warns of impermissible operating parameters - for absolute operational safety at all times.

Typical areas of application

Thanks to its versatility, the centrifuge is recommended for a wide range of laboratory processes, in particular:

Blood bank and clinical diagnostics: Separation of blood components (such as plasma, serum, leukocytes) for blood banks and diagnostic centres.
Molecular biology & genetic research: Isolation and purification of DNA, RNA and protein samples; separation of organic and inorganic particles in analytical protocols.
Immunology and pharmaceutical research: Sample preparation for ELISA assays and processing of large microtiter plate series.
Biotechnology and cell culture: Harvesting and purification of cell pellets from suspensions, centrifugation of bacterial and yeast cultures.

Typical substances used are blood, plasma, serum, cell culture supernatants, buffer solutions, viral or bacterial samples, and nucleic acid extracts.

FAQs

Which rotors are compatible with this model?

The system is compatible with swing-out rotors for up to 4 x 750 ml, angle rotors for 6 x 250 ml, 30 x 2.0 ml and special rotors for 12 microtitre plates, allowing both large volumes and many individual samples to be processed efficiently.

How is precise cooling control achieved?

The infinitely variable control from -20 to +40 °C allows individual adjustments to the test setup. Temperature stability is maintained throughout the entire process, even at high speeds and long running times.

What safety features are integrated?

Comprehensive monitoring informs the user about running time, temperature, speed and any error messages. Automatic rotor detection, imbalance detection and emergency shutdown are standard features.

Is the device also suitable for sensitive biomolecules?

Yes, thanks to the high-quality cooling and the option of very low speeds, even temperature-sensitive or fragile samples - such as proteins or DNA/RNA - can be processed gently.

How can the device be maintained?

The ROTANTA 460 RF is designed to be easy to maintain; central components are quickly accessible. Regular calibration and checking of the safety functions is recommended to ensure consistent process quality.

Conclusion

The ROTANTA 460 RF is the ideal solution for all laboratories that need a powerful, safe and versatile benchtop centrifuge with precise cooling. It offers maximum flexibility thanks to various rotor options, allows maximum centrifugation forces and impresses with its safety systems and ergonomic operation. Its robust construction and validation according to internationally applicable standards make it the reliable heart of demanding laboratory processes.
