A Hermle centrifuge is a laboratory instrument for separating substances by density using high-speed spinning. Key features include advanced microprocessor controls for precise settings, a wide range of available rotors for different applications (from microplates to large-volume tubes), safety features like imbalance detection, and models offering both air-cooled and refrigerated chambers for temperature-sensitive applications. The specific model determines its maximum speed, capacity, and features, with universal, refrigerated, and high-speed models available for various research, clinical, and molecular biology needs.
Key Characteristics
- Versatility:Hermle offers various models, including universal centrifuges with a broad range of rotor options, high-speed microcentrifuges for smaller volumes, and refrigerated models for temperature-sensitive applications.
- Control & Display:Advanced microprocessor controls allow users to set and monitor speed (in RPM or RCF), time, acceleration, and deceleration rates via an intuitive front panel.
- Safety Features:Models incorporate essential safety features such as automatic lid locks to prevent opening during operation and active imbalance detection systems that shut down the motor if the rotor is improperly loaded.
- Compact & Quiet Operation:Many Hermle centrifuges are designed to be compact, taking up minimal bench space, while operating at low noise levels (under 60 dB) to maintain a quiet laboratory environment.
- Program Storage:Many models allow users to store and retrieve frequently used programs for repeatable, reliable operation.
- Cooling System:Refrigerated models feature efficient, compressor-driven cooling systems that can quickly bring the chamber to a low temperature, such as 4°C, and maintain it for sensitive samples.
Examples of Applications
- Molecular Biology Labs:Models like the Z216 MK are designed for molecular biology, handling tasks like extracting RNA from patient samples using spin column kits.
- Clinical Labs:The Z287-A is suitable for clinical settings, including COVID-19 testing, with rotors for microplates and spin columns.
- General Research:Universal centrifuges like the Z326 series are used for a wide array of research applications, handling diverse tube sizes and types with various swing-out and fixed-angle rotors.
