ROTANTA 460 R: a Powerful, Refrigerated Solution for Demanding Applications
The ROTANTA 460 R from Hettich is a refrigerated benchtop centrifuge that stands out for its high capacity, flexibility of use and precise temperature control. Designed for environments where thermal stability is critical, it maintains a constant temperature between -20°C and +40°C, ensuring the integrity of heat-sensitive samples or those requiring continuous refrigeration.
Thanks to its induction motor and digital keypad control system combined with a rotary knob, the ROTANTA 460 R allows precise control of centrifugation parameters, with 98 programmable settings and 28 acceleration and braking ramps. It reaches speeds of up to 15,000 rpm with a maximum relative acceleration (ACR) of 24,400 g, making it a powerful tool for complex separations.
This centrifuge is designed to accommodate a wide range of containers, including conical tubes, microtubes, cell culture flasks, microtitre plates and even blood bags up to 450 ml. It can process large quantities of tubes simultaneously thanks to a maximum capacity of 4 x 1,000 ml, and offers up to eight types of rotors depending on user requirements. Automatic rotor recognition ensures increased safety, while the imbalance monitoring function guarantees stable operation.
The metal housing, stainless steel chamber, motorised lid closure and anti-fall safety feature contribute to a robust and reliable design. At the end of the cycle, an audible signal alerts the user. A backlit display allows clear, real-time monitoring of parameters, including temperature (in °C or °F), speed and time. A pre-cooling mode is also available to ensure the optimum temperature right from start-up.
Compact yet powerful, the ROTANTA 460 R is ideal for high-throughput laboratories looking for a reliable, safe, easy-to-use centrifuge suitable for applications requiring temperature control.
