Benchtop Centrifuges

ROTANTA 460

High‑Capacity Benchtop Centrifugation: Designed to accommodate large sample volumes, including up to 4 × 100 mL tubes, making it ideal for clinical, research, and industrial laboratory workflows.

Powerful Separation Performance: Achieves speeds up to 4,500 rpm with a maximum RCF up to 4,078 × g, enabling fast and efficient processing of a wide range of sample types.

Flexible Rotor Options: Supports a variety of interchangeable rotors and buckets for tubes, bottles, and specialty formats, providing versatility across many centrifugation needs.

Intuitive Digital Controls: Equipped with a clear keypad and display, programmable run times, adjustable speed settings, and an impulse (short‑spin) function for efficient operation.

Quiet and Durable Operation: Brushless drive and reinforced chamber deliver smooth, low‑noise performance (≤ 58 dB(A)) with long‑lasting reliability.

Advanced Safety Systems: Includes automatic rotor recognition, imbalance monitoring with automatic shut‑off, motorized lid lock with emergency release, and a metal housing for secure and dependable centrifugation.

Optional Refrigeration (460 R): The Rotanta 460 R model adds refrigeration control from +4 °C to +40 °C, ensuring temperature‑sensitive samples remain stable during centrifugation.

High-performance with multifunctional capabilities

The powerful benchtop centrifuge effortlessly handles nearly any separation task in the lab. It processes large quantities of blood collection tubes, conical cell culture tubes, plates, and bottles. A special holder also enables centrifugation of 450 ml blood bag systems.

The R model is equipped with a cooling unit that allows adjustable temperatures from -20°C to +40°C. The ROTANTA 460’s single-handed latch ensures comfort, practicality, and safety. Its bio-containment lids simplify sample loading, unloading, and transportation.

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.

Although a benchtop centrifuge, small blood bag systems can be accommodated for autologous blood donations.

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.
