Swing-out rotor 12-place Cat : 1142 Hettich

Swing-out rotor 12-place Cat : 1142 Hettich

Product Description

The Hettich Swing-out Rotor (12-place) is a reliable accessory designed to maximize the efficiency of your centrifuge when working with multiple small-volume samples. Built with precision engineering, it accommodates up to 12 × 5 ml tubes and operates at speeds of up to 5,000 rpm, reaching an effective relative centrifugal force (RCF) that ensures consistent separation.

Unlike fixed-angle rotors, the swing-out mechanism tilts the tubes to a 60° angle during centrifugation, improving sedimentation for certain sample types while still maintaining compact and stable performance. Its sturdy construction guarantees durability for daily use in clinical, research, and teaching laboratories.
