4841: Specific Adapter for Medical Bottles
The Hettich 4841 meets the needs of clinical laboratories that use large-volume bottles for the preparation and separation of biological samples. Designed to accommodate bottles with a diameter of 62 mm and a length of 100 mm, it fits perfectly into the 5620-A basket of the 5699 swing-out rotor. This configuration allows laboratories to use 250 mL and 290 mL bottles, which are frequently used in biochemistry, haematology and microbiology. By holding the bottles securely in place, the adapter ensures consistent centrifugation and optimum sample quality.
Compatibility with the 5699 Rotor and Enhanced Safety
The 4841 adapter fits directly into the 5699 swing-bucket system. This compatibility ensures great flexibility in the use of the various inserts available for this rotor, allowing multiple tube and vial formats to be processed with the same equipment. When combined with the 5621 containment lid, it provides a biosafety-compliant centrifugation solution, reducing the risks associated with hazardous biological samples. This feature is particularly important for hospital and clinical laboratories that require a high level of protection.
Reliability and Repeatability for Medical Laboratories
The 4841 is not just a simple insert, it actively contributes to the repeatability of results. By keeping the vials centred and securely in place in the basket, it reduces positional variations and ensures consistency between each centrifugation cycle. This consistency is essential in environments where the reliability of results directly affects medical diagnoses and clinical decisions. Its robust design makes it a durable accessory, suitable for the repeated loads of daily use in hospital, research and medical biology laboratories.
