The ZK 496 is a large volume floor-standing centrifuge, which is also available as a space - saving underbench model. Both models are provided with a powerful cooling system to keep your samples cool.

Its huge volume of charge allows a large number of samples to be centrifuged, up to 4 x 1000 ml. The field of application of the ZK 496 ranges from clinical applications through research to industrial applications, but also in blood banks, where blood bags are used.

In additional to the multifunctional swing out rotor, high-speed fixed angle rotors with a maximum capacity of 6 x 250 ml or 4 x 500 ml are also available! This enables a fast and efficient separation of samples in high-throughput laboratories.

The centrifuges are available in two different working heights: a floor-standing model and an under bench model, both equipped with mounted wheels. The wheels enable easier manoeuvring around the laboratory
