Product Specifications

Areas of Use

Hettich Rotofix 32A is a compact and extremely robust benchtop centrifuge that has been a preferred choice in laboratories worldwide for many years. With nine available rotors and a wide range of accessories, it is the most flexible centrifuge in its class – in a compact footprint of only approx. 23 kg.

Typical areas of use include:

Quality control and routine analysis in clinical and medical laboratories
Centrifugation of blood samples, urine samples and other biological specimens
Cytology and cell preparation – compatible with most existing funnel/glass systems
Chrome Bath analysis in the surface treatment industry
Sample preparation for environmental and water analysis
Separation and particle analysis in the chemical industry
Centrifugation of conical tubes (5–50 ml) in production and quality control
Precision centrifugation up to 4,226 g with angle rotor 1620A

Rotofix 32A is IVDR-compliant in accordance with EU Regulation 2017/746 for use in regulated diagnostic and industrial environments.

Advantages

Rotofix 32A is an exceptionally versatile centrifuge for laboratories – reliable, compact and easy to operate.

Nine rotors – the most versatile in its class
With nine available rotors and support for a range of tube types and sample volumes from micro liters to 94 ml flasks, no other benchtop centrifuge in this class offers comparable breadth.

Extremely compact and lightweight
With a footprint of only 366 × 430 mm and a weight of only approx. 23 kg, Rotofix 32A can practically be placed anywhere – on a standard lab bench, in a mobile analysis system or in a tight production facility.

Low noise in a compact format
Up to 4,226 RCF and 6,000 rpm – performance matching larger and heavier centrifuges. Extremely short acceleration and deceleration times enable fast sample handling.

Quiet operation
Noise level of max. 52 dB(A) with angle rotor 1628 – which makes it well suited for open industrial laboratories and production facilities.

Available with and without cooling
Universal 320 for standard applications and Universal 320R with integrated cooling from –20 °C to +40 °C with delay function.

IVDR-compliant
Certified in accordance with EU Regulation 2017/746 for use in regulated diagnostic and industrial environments.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes Rotofix 32A the most versatile centrifuge in its class?

Rotofix 32A offers nine available rotors and supports a wider range of tube types and sample volumes than any comparable benchtop centrifuge in its class — from microliters up to 94 ml flasks. Combined with a compact footprint of only 366 × 430 mm and a weight of approx. 23 kg, it delivers laboratory-grade flexibility without requiring dedicated bench space or cooling infrastructure.

How many samples can Rotofix 32A handle per run?

Depending on the rotor selected, Rotofix 32A handles up to 4 × 100 ml, 6 × 94 ml, 40 blood tubes or 8 × 50 ml conical tubes per run. With the 12-place swing-out rotor (Cat. No. 1628), up to 12 × 15 ml tubes can be processed simultaneously.

Can Rotofix 32A be used for cytology?

Yes. Rotofix 32A is compatible with most existing funnel and glass systems used in cytology and cell preparation, making it a practical choice for clinical and research laboratories that perform cytological analyses on a routine basis.

What are the 2 individual braking steps?

The two individual braking steps allow the operator to select gentle deceleration at the end of a run — essential when working with samples where pelleting must not be disturbed, such as blood separations, gradient centrifugation or sensitive biological specimens. This gives greater control over sample integrity compared to a single fixed braking profile.

Is Rotofix 32A approved for use in regulated diagnostic environments

Yes. Rotofix 32A is IVDR-compliant in accordance with EU Regulation 2017/746, making it approved for use in regulated diagnostic and industrial environments across the EU.

Do you offer service and calibration of Rotofix 32A in Norway?

Yes. Industrihuset offers service and support for Hettich centrifuges in Norway. Contact Pascal Mørch at pascal@labhuset.no or +47 977 29 723 for more information.
