Olympus 4283-B rack support – The professional solution for safe and standardised centrifugation of Olympus tubes
The Olympus 4283-B rack support was developed by Hettich to meet the growing demands of clinical and research laboratories for standardisation, safety and performance. Specially designed for use with ROTIXA 500 RS centrifuges, this holder stands out for its mechanical robustness and perfect compatibility with Olympus racks, facilitating the simultaneous processing of multiple samples in a reliable and reproducible manner.
Made from durable, easy-to-clean materials, the 4283-B can hold up to 12 Olympus racks in separate positions, ensuring optimal balance during centrifugation. Its slim vertical design, with precise dimensions of 20 x 41 x 176 mm, saves space while ensuring secure anchoring in the rotor. This ensures that tubes remain stable even at high rotation speeds of up to 3600 rpm without compromising the integrity of the samples or the centrifuge.
With a centrifugation radius of 183 mm, the 4283-B achieves a relative centrifugal force (RCF) of up to 2652 g, making this support particularly suitable for the efficient separation of blood components, cells or other biological matrices. It also meets the needs of controlled environment handling, particularly when managing large numbers of samples within tight timeframes.
In the laboratory, operational efficiency depends heavily on the ability to standardise tools and ensure their compatibility with existing systems. The Olympus 4283-B holder is designed with this in mind: it fits perfectly into automated or semi-automated processes incorporating Olympus racks. It therefore integrates seamlessly into workflows without the need for additional adapters or manual modifications, reducing the risk of error or contamination.
This support complies with safety standards for high-capacity centrifugation environments. It can be used with confidence in critical protocols where speed accuracy, temperature control and accessory compatibility are essential. With the Olympus 4283-B support, Hettich provides a solution that combines ergonomics, safety and performance to support professionals in their daily laboratory work.
