PAA Autoloader and SmartCart for Hettich automated centrifuge product line
Peak Analysis and Automation (PAA), has always been at the forefront of laboratory automation and continues to supply novel and innovative solutions for this market. PAA has been a trusted integrator for the Hettich automated centrifuge product line for many years and has devised bespoke solutions specifically for Hettich. Of particular interest is the new Autoloader, designed for the Hettich ROTANTA 460 Robotic. This inobtrusive, plug-and-play add-on, allows the ROTANTA 460 Robotic to be compatible with CoBots, while retaining the Hettich reputation for safety and speed. The innovations don’t end here, though. By using the PAA SmarCart system, any of our centrifuges becomes part of flexible and intelligent system, reconfigurable simply and fast. PAA selects Hettich centrifuges for its most discriminating projects because they are the industry leading automated centrifuges for diagnostics and drug discovery.
With the introduction of the first microprocessor-controlled centrifuge, released in 1976, Hettich quickly became the leading automated centrifuge brand in life sciences. Over the years, Hettich has developed a family of automation-ready centrifuges for various applications, from those performed in drug discovery to those in diagnostics and clinical. From the ultra-compact MIKRO 220 Robotic microliter tube spinner to the benchtop ROTINA 380 Robotic, the under-counter low-profile ROTANTA 460 Robotic, and the SBS 300, a front-loading centrifuge developed and optimized for microplates in high-throughput and crowded settings. Hettich has developed custom-made adapters and buckets to handle today’s most common tubes, SBS format plates, and larger labware. Hettich’s centrifuges are designed to make the loading of the device with a robot effortless. Automation engineers can further customize the centrifuges by choosing from various options, including voltage, communication protocols, refrigeration, and the location of the access ports. These centrifuges retain the Hettich hallmark for quality, which is paramount when uninterrupted 24/7 operation is critical.”
Compact for small volumes with high-speed rotor for up to 18,516 x g, 90° swing-out rotors for microliter and HPLC tubes. Rotor positioning accuracy and continuous status communication.
The SBS 300 ROBOTIC is a front-loading centrifuge developed and optimized for microplates in high-throughput screening.
The ROTINA 380 Robotic models are available as air-cooled or cooled benchtop centrifuges and as cooled underbench units. They centrifuge microtitre plates and blood collection tubes fast and reliably.
Industry leading automatable centrifuge is the only high g-force, high capacity model on the market.
