Benchmark Scientific Z307 Universal Centrifuge

Z307 Universal Centrifuge

Multi-Purpose, one compact centrifuge that accepts:

• Swing out rotors (12 x 15ml or 8 x 50ml)
• High Speed microtube rotors (up to 18,624xg)
• Low-Medium speed fixed angle rotors for 15ml to 50ml

The Z307 is a compact and economical centrifuge with a series of rotor options making it well suited for clinical, industrial, and research laboratories. Despite the impressive capacity of the 4 x 100ml rotor (capable of supporting 8 x 50ml or 12 x 15ml with the use of rotor inserts), the Z306 is surprisingly compact with a footprint of just over 14 x 18 inches. An optional rotor is also available for microplates (2 x 3 microplates), positioning this model as one of the smallest, and least expensive centrifuges capable of high speed microplate centrifugation.

Advanced microprocessor controls allow for instant rotor identification, which automatically converts the rotational speed to the relevant g-force (rcf), preventing the user from setting a speed above the capabilities of the installed rotor. In addition to retrieving saved programs, the easy to use front panel can adjust accel/decel rates, and change the end of run alarm tone.  

The Z 307 offers many accessories, including rotors for microtitreplates and high-speed fixed angle rotors for reaction vessels or centrifuge tubes up to 50 ml. Additionally, swing out rotors, which hold a volume of up to 4 x 145 ml can be used for tissue culture tubes and also for all common blood tubes.This wide range of accessories makes the Z 306 laboratory centrifuge indespensable in research laboratories and small clinical laboratories.
