Complete Product Description

Hettich MIKRO 220 and MIKRO 220R microfuge
....introducing the 'Silent Racer'

The MIKRO 220 and 220 R are powerful, compact benchtop centrifuges for processing microlitre tubes of 0.2 ml to 2.0 ml. The refrigerated MIKRO 220 R also accommodates tubes up to a voume of 50 ml.

The MIKRO 220 and 220R centrifuges are used in clinical laboratories as well as in genetic research, virology, cytology and bacteriology. Capacity, performance and cooling of the MIKRO 220 R are specifically designed to meet the demands of sample preparation for PCR applications.

Quiet smooth running contribute to a good working atmosphere. The Mikro 200 series, like all Hettich centrifuges are 'whisper quiet'!

Remember Hettich from GMI!

• 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
• Innovative, features and performance not found elsewhere at the same price
• 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!

Hettich 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 and represents zero risk to add to your lab. 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.
