Hettich ROTANTA 460R Refrigerated Benchtop Centrifuge with 5654 Rotor

The Hettich ROTANTA 460R (model 5660) is a multi-purpose refrigerated benchtop centrifuge engineered for versatile laboratory and biotechnological applications. Manufactured in 2023 and lightly used, this centrifuge supports precise temperature control from -20°C to 40°C, which is critical for temperature-sensitive molecular diagnostics and bioprocessing workflows.

Key technical features include:

• Maximum speed of 15,000 rpm with a maximum relative centrifugal force (RCF) of 24,400 x g, adaptable depending on rotor configuration, suitable for high-speed cell separation and protein purification.
• Supplied with the Hettich 5654 free-running rotor (4 x 1200 g capacity) capable of 3800 rpm, designed for large-volume separations in biotechnology and clinical research.
• Four buckets/baskets with 1,000 ml capacity each (part number 5651-A), including bottle adapters for secure sample containment, supporting biomanufacturing and sample preparation protocols.
• Additional accessories include 4 microplate cups (Hettich 5653) with adapters, facilitating use in synthetic biology and gene editing projects requiring microplate centrifugation.
• Operates on 230 V, 50 Hz power supply and features a robust chassis with dimensions 77 x 71 x 46 cm and weighing 141 kg, suitable for standard laboratory benches with integrated cooling.
• Comes with a 2-drawer cabinet for convenient storage of centrifuge accessories and consumables.

This centrifuge is widely adopted in molecular biology, clinical diagnostics, and biotechnology research laboratories, such as gene editing and bioprocessing centers, offering reliable temperature-controlled centrifugation essential for high-precision workflows including cell fractionation, biomolecule isolation, and biopharmaceutical production pipelines.
