MIKRO 185 : A powerful and compact centrifugation solution for modern laboratory needs
The MIKRO 185 centrifuge from German manufacturer Hettich stands out as a premium solution for laboratories seeking high performance, reliability, and safety in a compact footprint. Designed to meet the requirements of routine applications such as molecular biology protocols, hematology, or biomedical research, this centrifuge combines versatility with high-speed processing for small-volume samples. Its maximum speed of 14,000 rpm enables fast and effective separation of cellular, plasma, or molecular components.
With a capacity of up to 24 tubes of 1.5 or 2.0 ml, the MIKRO 185 is an ideal instrument for labs handling a large number of daily samples. It also offers a maximum relative centrifugal force (RCF) of 18,845 x g, ensuring optimal sample processing within a short time. Its intuitive user interface, featuring a backlit screen and well-positioned control keys, allows quick programming of essential parameters such as time, speed (RPM or RCF), braking force, and rotor selection.
User safety is at the heart of the MIKRO 185’s design. It includes an automatic lid locking system, rotor recognition, and automatic stop in case of lid opening or imbalance. For applications involving hazardous substances, a biosafety system with hermetically sealed lids is also available, providing maximum protection against aerosols.
From a design perspective, the unit has been built for durability and ergonomic comfort. With a noise level below 59 dB(A), it ensures a quiet working environment. Its compact dimensions (261 x 353 x 228 mm) and lightweight body (approx. 11 kg) allow it to fit easily on any laboratory bench without taking up excessive space. Robust and compliant with international safety standards (IEC/EN 61010-1, 61010-2-020), the MIKRO 185 is well-suited for heavy-duty, continuous use.
The MIKRO 185 offers a perfect blend of performance, compactness, and ease of use, all while complying with strict safety regulations. It is aimed at lab professionals who need a reliable and effective centrifuge for their daily workflows.
