The Z496-1000-A10 is the 38 × 10 mL tube insert for the Hermle Z496-1000-RBUK rectangular bucket — sold as a 2-pack. With the full 4-bucket configuration, the rotor processes 152 × 10 mL tubes per cycle — among the highest tube-counts-per-cycle in the Hermle catalog for any tube format. The 10 mL Vacutainer-style format is the dominant primary blood-collection tube size in clinical practice; 152-tube parallel throughput delivers institutional clinical-research scale on a single Z496-K cycle.

152-tube clinical-research blood-collection workflow — a single Z496-K cycle processes a high-volume phlebotomy session's worth of 10 mL primary blood-collection tubes (Vacutainer-style and other 16 mm OD primary-collection formats).
Clinical-research serum/plasma separation at institutional scale — when the workflow batches 100+ primary tubes per session, this insert + Z496-K combination handles the complete batch in one cycle without splitting.
Cold-chain 10 mL workflows on Z496-K — combines 152-tube parallel throughput with chassis refrigeration for cold-chain blood-component workflows.
Multi-PI shared core scheduling — when multiple research groups' 10 mL workflows can be batched together, the Z496-K + A10 insert combination accommodates large combined cycles.
Z496-1000-A10 ships as 2 inserts. 10 mL Vacutainer-style tubes are operator-supplied (commodity clinical supplies).

Warranty: 5-Year Hermle warranty (3 years full + 2 years drivetrain) on the inserts.
10 mL workflow on the Z496-K: the A10 insert (this product) delivers 152-tube parallel throughput for the dominant clinical-blood-collection tube size — the highest single-cycle 10 mL throughput in the Hermle catalog. For lower-throughput needs on smaller chassis, see chassis-specific 10 mL rotors (Z287-0810H on Z287-A, Z326-2010 on Z326).
