Hettich ROTANTA 460 RC Floor-Standing Centrifuges

Floor-Standing Centrifuges

ROTANTA 460 RC

High-Performance Centrifugation: Achieves speeds up to 15,000 rpm with a maximum RCF of 24,400 × g, enabling fast and efficient separation for demanding laboratory workflows.
Large Sample Capacity: Supports a maximum capacity of 4 × 1,000 mL, allowing processing of large sample volumes including tubes, bottles, plates, and blood bag systems.
Space-Saving Floor or Under-Bench Design: Available as under-bench (RC) or floor-standing (RF) configurations, freeing valuable laboratory bench space while maintaining high-performance centrifugation.
Versatile Rotor System: Compatible with multiple rotor options capable of handling blood tubes, bottles, plates, and cell culture containers, allowing diverse laboratory applications with minimal rotor changes.
Integrated Refrigeration System: Built-in cooling maintains stable temperatures from −20 °C to +40 °C with a pre-cooling function, protecting temperature-sensitive samples during centrifugation.
Advanced Control and Programmability: Features an intuitive keypad and control knob with up to 98 program memories, adjustable acceleration and braking stages, and clear display of operational parameters.
Enhanced Safety and Durability: Designed with automatic rotor recognition, imbalance monitoring with automatic shut-off, powered lid lock, stainless-steel chamber, and metal housing for secure and reliable operation.

The underbench device for multi-purpose use

This modified version of the standard ROTANTA 460 RC allows for space saving storage below the bench and frees valuable working space from bench top units. This unit includes refrigeration with a temperature range from -20 °C to +40 °C.

Areas of applications

Clinical Chemistry, Hematology, Serology, PCR

This high-throughput centrifuge is suitable for large laboratories such as blood banks or high-throughput clinical labs, since it takes a vast variety of blood collection tubes.

With the small footprint & the two selectable working heights, it enables ergonomic centrifugation of small blood bag systems, e.g. for autologous blood donation.

Research and Industry, Cell Culture

Specialty rotors and accessories for ASTM, Babcock, Schlenk and Chrome bath tubes.
For PCR maxi / 96 kits a unique high-speed plate rotor spinning SBS format plates at up to 6,446 RCF is available as well as accessories for cell culture.
One rotor takes multiple tube types, bottles, blood bags and plates, no time wasting rotor change is required.
