Microliter centrifuges MIKRO 2.0 Hettich

Product Description

The Hettich MIKRO 2.0 is a state-of-the-art microliter centrifuge designed for laboratories that demand high performance in a compact footprint. With maximum speeds of 16,100 rpm and a maximum RCF of 25,212, it is capable of handling both high-throughput and delicate sample processing. The MIKRO 2.0 comes in two variants: a non-refrigerated model and a refrigerated model (MIKRO 2.0 R) that offers temperature control from –20 °C to +40 °C. A number of advanced features—tool-free rotor changes, NFC rotor recognition, quick-release lid, and a high-resolution LCD interface—make it highly efficient, safe, and user-friendly.

Features

• Maximum speed of 16,100 min⁻¹ and maximum RCF of 25,212

• Supports sample capacities of 24 × 2.0 ml tubes or 12 × 5 ml tubes

• Tool-free quick-change rotor system for fast rotor swaps without tools

• Bio-tight quick-release rotor lid lock with safety catch to prevent accidental opening during transport

• NFC-based rotor recognition and cycle count tracking (independent of centrifuge) to reduce error and guarantee proper use

• 99 memory program slots, plus 10 acceleration and 11 deceleration levels

• In the refrigerated version (MIKRO 2.0 R), temperature control from –20 °C to +40 °C, with a smart pre-cooling function (approx. 6 minutes at 22 °C)

• Metal housing and cover, viewing port, motorized lid lock, lid-drop protection, and emergency release

• Durable synchronous motor for fast start-up and shutdown, unbalance monitoring, quick spin mode, multilingual user interface (26 languages)
