The UNIVERSAL 320 is a compact, versatile and indispensable general purpose centrifuge. Excellent performance and a comprehensive range of accessories enable the UNIVERSAL 320 to carry out virtually any centrifuging tasks including plates, blood tubes, cell culture, microliter and cytology.

Best conditions for you samples

Eliminates the need to purchase an expensive dedicated cytocentrifuge

The UNIVERSAL 320 performs multiple applications including cytology, in the same centrifuge, saving you money and bench space. Hettich’s 12-place Clip Rotor is capable of spinning Cyto chambers and is with the bio-containment lid autoclavable.

Areas of applications

Clinical Chemistry, Hematology, Serology, Cytology

Versatile and durable centrifuge for spinning blood tubes and urine tubes in swing-out rotors as well as in angle rotors.

Perform cytology with the unique bio-seal 12-place clip rotor or the flexible and economic two-step accessories.

Industry and Research

Up to 8 x 50 ml conical tubes for the passaging of cells in cell culture are possible. In addition, this relatively small bench top centrifuge spins microplates for solid phase assays.

This centrifuge provides special equipment for industrial applications like food analysis or investigation on paper.
