The Hettich Rotina 380 is a high-performance, compact benchtop centrifuge designed to handle a wide range of applications in clinical chemistry, biotechnology, and life science research. This specific configuration includes the robust 1798 four-place swing-out rotor and 5051 buckets, providing a versatile platform for medium-to-high throughput sample processing. Engineered for quiet operation and stability, the Rotina 380 features an intuitive control panel with 98 programmable memories and adjustable acceleration/deceleration ramps to protect delicate samples. With its durable metal housing and stainless steel chamber, this unit offers the reliability and safety standards required for demanding laboratory environments.

Technical Performance and Design

• Versatile Performance: Capable of reaching speeds up to 15,000 RPM (fixed-angle) and a maximum RCF of 24,400 x g, depending on the rotor configuration, making it suitable for everything from standard cell pelleting to microcentrifugation.

• 1798 Swing-Out Rotor: A highly flexible 4-place rotor optimized for sedimentation tasks. It ensures that the tubes remain horizontal during the run for optimal pellet formation and easy supernatant removal.

• 5051 Bucket System: These light-metal grooved buckets are designed for "Size 2" frames and can accommodate a variety of adapters. In this configuration, they are outfitted for 50 mL tube processing.

• Advanced Programming: Features an easy-to-use interface with a rotary knob for parameter adjustment, allowing users to store and recall up to 98 distinct protocols for reproducible results.
