Extra-Large High-Speed Refrigerated Centrifuge (max capacity 6 x 1,000 ml, max. RCF 50,743xg)
Overview
The Herolab HiCen XL is a high-performance refrigerated floor-standing centrifuge engineered for extra-large volumes in research and industrial settings. With a maximum capacity of 6 × 1,000 mL and a top speed of 21,000 rpm generating up to 50,743 × g, it stands at the forefront of large-scale separation technology.
Microprocessor-controlled and equipped with a color TFT display, the HiCen XL offers intuitive operation with 30 programmable memories, 8 acceleration and deceleration ramps, and an automatic positive rotor identification (APRI) system for safe, error-free rotor detection. The robust stainless steel chamber features built-in armor reinforcement for additional safety at high speeds.
Refrigeration is precise and fast, with a temperature set range suitable for sensitive samples. The unit accommodates 16 angle rotors, 4 swing-out rotors, and 2 vertical rotors — covering tubes and bottles from microliter scale up to 1,000 mL.
