Setting the benchmark in Centrifuge Automation technology
Automated Centrifuges
For over 25 years, Hettich has been setting the standard in laboratory automation with the introduction of the first robot-operated centrifuge.
Today, our robotic centrifuges are an integral part of leading laboratory automation systems worldwide—renowned for their exceptional quality, precision, and safety. We offer four automated models, each specifically designed for reliable and seamless 24/7 operation in modern laboratories.
Rotor positioning accuracy and continuous status communication offer accurate results and long-term reliability. Safety features such as automatic lid-locking, motor/chamber over heating protection, imbalance switch-off and rotor recognition ensure continuous trouble-free operation and safe work environment.
Hettich offers a range of automation-ready centrifuges to expand the capacities of your processing center. Micro centrifuges with horizontal rotors for microliter and HPLC tubes, best for small volumes, offer power and speed in a compact footprint.
Floor models capable of processing up to 200 blood tubes and 24 microtiter plates are commonly used in bio-technology research, and pharmaceutical research industries are ideal for high-throughput laboratories.
Hettich robotic centrifuges are valued by all users for their highly accurate precision, robustness, and reliable 24/7 operation. Their high functionality and durable design based on more than 25 years of experience of designing and building robotic centrifuges makes robotic centrifuges reliable workhorses when it comes to preparing samples.
Safety, reliability, and constancy create confidence in Hettich robotic centrifuges. The device can also be operated like a manual centrifuge if the automation system malfunctions, thus making it possible to process samples manually.
The wide range of accessories means that our robotic centrifuges can be used for a variety of applications in diagnostics and the life science and research sector. Our centrifuges are suitable for use not only in high-throughput clinical chemistry laboratories, but also in research laboratories and pharmaceutical laboratories. Hettich robotics are also used for lesser known niche applications.
