Hettich Floor-standing centrifuge ROTIXA 500 RS (with cooling) Its sturdy components make the ROTIXA 500 RS a highly reliable instrument which will provide years of service. Its high capacity and a maximum RCF of 5.252 make it suitable for a wide range of centrifuging applications. This extremely effective centrifuge can handle up to 192 blood collection tubes per run, making it the ideal solution when large sample volumes have to be centrifuged in clinical chemistry procedures.
The high-capacity, refrigerated floor-standing ROTIXA 500 RS can hold 4 x 1.000 ml bottles. It is equipped as standard with an S control panel.
The ROTIXA 500 RS is however also invaluable in R&D and quality control departments in the life sciences industry and in other industrial fields thanks to its versatility. It has proven itself in the search for active ingredients, as well as in the separation of food samples and cell suspensions, precipitates from chemical reactions, soil samples and of course also blood and its constituents.
Comprehensive range of accessories: A further advantage of this centrifuge is its wide range of accessories: rotors, carriers and adapters for widely differing applications. These include the adaptation of racks of different blood analysers, such as those from Olympus or Hitachi.
The high-capacity, refrigerated floor-standing ROTIXA 500 RS can hold 4 x 1.000 ml bottles. It is equipped as standard with an S control panel.
