Choice of 2 Control panels:

Programming the centrifuges is extremely easy. With the standard N control panel entry of the parameters is fast and precise with selector keys on the foil keypad. During centrifugation the actual values of the parameters are displayed. Three complete running programmes can be stored and recalled.



Maximum user-friendliness is provided by the extended S control panel (optional). With little manipulation a multitude of functions can be programmed via selector keys on the foil keypad and an adjusting knob. Up to 89 running programmes can be memorized and recalled by their storing number. Models with the S control panel may be fitted with an interface for recording the centrifuging parameters with the data report system HETTINFO.

All centrifuges of the ROTANTA 460 line feature automatic lid locking. When the rotor has come to a standstill after centrifugation the lid opens at the touch of a button. With the refrigerated ROTANTA 460 centrifuges temperature is controllable within a range of -20°C to +40°C, accurate to 1°C

Remember Hettich from GMI!

bullet Environmentally friendly, first to use non-ozone depleting refrigerant R-404, materials and components carefully selected with reusability or non-polluting disposability criteria in mind
bullet Innovative, features and performance not found elsewhere at the same price
bullet 100 years in the making.  Hettich was 1st in centrifugation at the beginning of this century- Andreas Hettich designed the first centrifuge for medical applications!

has been making cutting edge centrifuges longer than any of them.  GMI carries Hettich centrifuges brand new in the box as our exclusive line for one simple reason...if you are buying new, Hettich is the best.  IT IS the Mercedes of the centrifuge world.  Here's why;

Tradition
The development of modern laboratory centrifuges is closely connected with the history of Hettich-Zentrifugen. Hettich's roots go back to 1904. A few years later, Andreas Hettich, the founder of the company, built the first centrifuges for medical applications. Ever since, Hettich has been defining the state of the art by further improving the technology and integrating new ideas. Today, Hettich's guiding principle is "innovation by tradition".

Innovation
Since the company was founded more than 160 patents and copyrights for design have been granted to it. Without exception they relate to centrifuges and centrifuging techniques.
In cytology, in particular, Hettich developed equipment that pointed the way ahead. In the field of laboratory automation the application for a patent on a robotic centrifuge presents a recent example of the company's innovative force.
The Hettich list of applied and issued patents, therefore, reads like a presentation of the development of modern centrifuge technology.

Construction and Design
The exchange of ideas with users in medicine, chemistry, industry and research generates
synergies. Using latest CAD technology Hettich's designing engineers develop them into products that meet all demands of today's laboratories. In the factory, finally, they are realized in centrifuges and accessories that are unmistakably Hettich and prove their worth not only by functionality, but also practical and attractive design.

Quality
Hettich manufactures top quality centrifuges. All stages from design to end product are continually subjected to strictest controls. Hettich centrifuges meet the requirements of all relevant national and international standards and verifies this by corresponding conformity marks. The ISO 9001 certificate accredited to the entire company proves the extreme care and responsibility Hettich puts into the manufacture of centrifuges and their accessories.

Service
After the purchase of a centrifuge Hettich and your local representative is still at your service. You can rely on excellent post sales support.

We guarantee it! 

Buying Hettich represents zero risk.  Since Hettich has been in business for around 100 years you don't have to worry about service this year,  next year, or even in ten years. 

Environmental Care
Centrifuges must not only be safe to operate, their manufacture must also be in compliance with latest ecological findings and pollution control measures. However, Hettich goes beyond that. Long before the corresponding law came into force, Hettich, for example, used the environmentally friendly cooling agent R 404 a on its refrigerated centrifuges. In addition, all other materials are carefully selected under the aspects reusability or non-polluting disposability.

 



Hettich Rotanta 460 centrifuge

Beckman? Sorvall?  Hettich has been making cutting edge centrifuges longer than both of them.  GMI carries Hettich centrifuges brand new in the box as our exclusive line for one simple reason...if you are buying new, Hettich is the best.  IT IS the Mercedes of the centrifuge world.

For decades, ROTANTA centrifuges from Hettich have been distinguished by the highest quality. They have responded to the fast-paced changes in laboratory environments with the continuous development of new, technically outstanding solutions. The ROTANTA 460 models are carrying on this tradition of quality. Enhanced performance and an extended range of accessories guarantee fast, trouble-free operation in daily laboratory use. With a maximum capacity of 3 litres per run, they are proving themselves in clinics and laboratory centers, as well as in Life Science R&D departments.

With high throughput, short separating times, fully developed technology, and a wide range of accessories the ROTANTA 460 models perfectly meet the requirements of modern Life Science laboratories.  Maximum 6,446 RCF can be generated with a swing-out rotor, 24,400 RCF with an angle rotor. In swing-out position e.g. up to 120 blood collection tubes, 240 x 2 ml microlitre tubes, 4 x 750 ml bottles, 24 microtitre plates, 4 deep well plates with filter columns for RNA/DNA purification can be processed per run. For seperation in angle position a choice of 3 rotors for max. 6 x 94 ml, 6 x 250 ml, and 30 x 1.5/2 ml is available. With aerosol-tight (TÜV-tested in compliance with DIN EN 61010, part 2 - 020) and autoclavable accessoires (up to 121°C or 134°C) also infectious samples can be centrifuged safe for operator and environment.

For sample processing in clinical chemistry, a wide selection of adapters are available to accommodate the most varied types of tubes. Biotechnology, molecular biology and the pharmaceutical industry value the ROTANTA 460 especially for its autoclavable and aerosol-tight accessories.  These versatile benchtop centrifuges feature many rotors including a microtitre plate rotor with a RCF of 6,446 for purifying DNA / RNA.

Is it possible that this one centrifuge can replace your floor model high speed centrifuge AND your tabletop large capacity centrifuge? Read on...

Consider:

Buy a 4 x 750ml rotor (model 5624) for large volumes and all of your tube and bottle spins such as 15 and 50ml conical disposable labware at 4779 x g and 4600       Rotor model 5624                 rpm! Adapters exist for 12mm, 17mm, 24mm, 34mm, 40mm, 44mm, and 65mm diameter tubes with volume range of 5ml, 6ml, 7ml, 15ml, 25ml, 50ml, 100ml, 250ml, 450ml, 580ml, and 750ml.  All standard blood collection tubes / vacutainers are accommodated as well as 15ml, 50ml, 175ml, 225ml, 250ml, and 500ml conical labware! Blood bags are no problem either.

Buy a 30 place (model 4489) 1.5ml (and 0.2, 0.4, & 0.5 and 0.8ml) microcentrifuge tube rotor for your Eppendorf tube spins - 15,000 rpm and 24,400 x g.  WOW, you mean I don't need a separate refrigerated      Model 4489 microcentrifuge? ! 

Buy a 6 place 50ml (model 5615) oak ridge tube rotor and spin your tubes at 11,500 rpm and up to 17,299 x g!  Wow, you mean I don't have to run off to Model 5615                         find my JA 20 or SS 34 rotors?  Nope, not with the Rotanta 460 centrifuge!

Buy a 6 x 250ml (model 5645) rotor for spinning down your bacterial cultures.  You can spin 9500 rpm at up to 14,025 x g!

Microplates? No problem, you can spin 2, 4, 6, 8 10 or even 12 microtiter plates at up to 6446 x g. You may even spin deep well plates
