The Hermle Z36-HK Refrigerated Centrifuges are centrifuges with unmatched performance among benchtop centrifuges. A robust motor drive powers a variety of high-speed angled rotors to speeds that would generally only be achievable in large, floor-standing ultra centrifuges. 2.0mL microtube samples can reach forces above 65,000xg, while 50mL samples as high as 41,410xg.

In addition to its high-speed capabilities, the Z36-HK doubles as a universal centrifuge with a 4 x 250ml swing out rotor, offering inserts for all common tube sizes, as well as a 2 x 3 position swing-out microplate rotor. Advanced microprocessor controls allow for instant rotor identification, which automatically converts the rotations speed to the relevant g-force (rcf), preventing the user from setting a speed above the capabilities of the installed rotor. In addition to retrieving saved programs, the easy-to-use front panel can adjust acceleration/deceleration rates and change the end of run alarm tone.
