Versatility and Efficiency of the Universal 320 Centrifuge
The Hettich Universal 320 benchtop centrifuge stands out for its ability to meet almost any centrifugation need in various laboratory settings, whether industrial, research, or clinical. This centrifuge offers remarkable performance thanks to its powerful motor and comprehensive range of accessories.
The Universal 320 can process standard tubes up to 100 ml in volume, microtiter plates, conical tubes with screw caps, blood collection tubes, and cyto accessories. Microliter tubes can be accelerated to a relative centrifugal force (RCF) of 21,382, while larger volume tubes benefit from an RCF of 9,509, allowing for rapid and efficient sedimentation of bacteria and yeast.
The centrifuge features a robust design with a metal housing, metal lid, and stainless steel centrifugation chamber. A viewing port in the lid allows for easy monitoring of the centrifugation process. Additionally, the lid locking is motorized, and a foil keypad enables quick parameter entry.
The centrifuge is equipped with 10 programmable memories, allowing for easy storage and recall of frequently used centrifugation parameters. Safety is a priority, with features such as lid locking during rotor operation, motor overheating protection, and chamber overheating protection.
For applications requiring refrigeration, the Universal 320 R model offers a temperature range from -20°C to +40°C, with a fast cooling function. This feature is particularly useful for temperature-sensitive samples, ensuring accurate and reliable results.
In terms of functionality, the Universal 320 features an intuitive digital control panel. Parameters such as rotational speed, relative centrifugal force, temperature, rotor radius, and centrifugation time can be easily adjusted. The twist knob allows for quick and easy parameter entry, and the digital display shows current values during centrifugation.
The Hettich Universal 320 benchtop centrifuge is a versatile and efficient tool designed to meet the diverse needs of modern laboratories. With its exceptional performance, robust design, and advanced features, it is an ideal choice for any centrifugation application.
