Hitachi CT-6D Benchtop Swing Rotor Centrifuge with 50ml Tube Buckets

The Hitachi CT-6D is a benchtop swing rotor centrifuge designed for versatile laboratory applications requiring medium-speed centrifugation, such as bioprocessing, molecular diagnostics, and clinical sample preparation. It features a maximum rotational speed of 6000 rpm, producing a relative centrifugal force up to 4830×G, which is suitable for separating cellular components and biomolecules in biotechnology and biomedical research.

Key technical characteristics include:

• Swing rotor design compatible with 50 ml tube buckets, enabling efficient separation of various sample volumes.
• Memory function that stores up to four operation programs including speed, time, and braking profiles, facilitating reproducible protocols critical in molecular cloning workflows.
• Precise timer control with continuous run capability, allowing extended centrifugation for complex bioprocessing steps.
• Rapid and safe deceleration curve optimized for rotor longevity and sample integrity, achieving full stop from 5000 rpm in approximately 30 seconds.
• Safety interlocks: door automatically locks during operation and unlocks on stop to prevent accidents.
• Operates on common laboratory power supply (AC 100 V, 15 A, 50/60 Hz).
• Dimensions 43.7 cm (W) × 57.6 cm (D) × 33.8 cm (H), and weight of 37 kg make it suitable for benchtop placement in research and clinical laboratories.

This centrifuge is widely adopted in biotechnology and clinical diagnostics laboratories for routine cell pellet preparation, nucleic acid isolation, and protein purification workflows. Its memory capabilities and swing rotor flexibility make it an essential tool in biomanufacturing and synthetic biology research pipelines.
