4 × 10 mL Vacutainer Insert for Z326-100H Sealed Bucket (2/pk)

The Z326-100H-A10 is a 4-position 10 mL Vacutainer insert for the Hermle Z326-100H hermetically sealed bucket on the Z327 / Z327-K chassis 4-place swing-out rotor, sold as a 2-pack. Each insert holds 4 × 10 mL Vacutainer-style blood collection tubes; the 4-bucket rotor configuration takes 2 packs (4 inserts) for full symmetric loading, delivering 16 × 10 mL Vacutainer tubes per cycle in hermetically sealed swing-out geometry. The combination of the Z327-K chassis's refrigeration (2 °C at max speed), the sealed bucket's biosafety containment, and the swing-out flat-sediment geometry makes this a clinical-blood-component prep configuration sized for institutional throughput.

Key Specifications

Compatibility & When to Order This SKU

Insert pairing: Z326-100H sealed bucket only. Order this SKU when:

1. Adding 10 mL Vacutainer clinical blood-tube workflow to an existing Z327 / Z327-K + Z326-100H install. Order 2 units for full 4-bucket symmetric loading (16 tubes/cycle).
2. Cold-chain blood-component prep. The Z327-K refrigeration + sealed bucket + swing-out 10 mL Vacutainer combination delivers cold-chain clinical-blood-component separation for institutional clinical-research and hospital lab workflows.
3. BSL-2 + clinical workflows: when patient samples require aerosol containment during the spin step, the hermetically sealed bucket (with Z326-100H-LID engaged) provides the containment envelope.
4. Replacement inserts if a current set is damaged or worn.

Application Profile

Hermetically sealed swing-out clinical workflow. The Z326-100H bucket, when combined with the Z326-100H-LID, creates a hermetic containment envelope around the tube load. At 4,080 × g and 5,000 rpm, the sealed configuration supports BSL-2 + clinical workflows handling potentially infectious patient samples (HIV research, hepatitis, respiratory pathogens) with the containment chain maintained from biosafety cabinet through centrifugation back to cabinet.

Cold-chain refrigerated prep. On the Z327-K refrigerated chassis, the rotor maintains 2 °C at max operating speed, supporting protocols requiring cold-chain integrity during the spin step (cold-stable analytes, temperature-sensitive cell-prep, downstream-stable blood-component prep).

4-bucket symmetric loading. All 4 buckets must use matching A10 inserts for symmetric balance.

Design Architecture

Cold-chain clinical-blood-component prep at institutional scale. Hospital and clinical-research labs running 16 × 10 mL Vacutainer batches per cycle for serum/plasma separation with cold-chain integrity maintained.

BSL-2 + clinical-research blood prep: clinical-research workflows handling potentially infectious patient samples that require aerosol containment during the high-RCF spin steps.

Biobank patient-sample prep. Biobank intake workflows handling 10 mL primary collection tubes that need refrigerated centrifugation before aliquot prep for cryostorage.

Hospital reference labs. Clinical chemistry and hematology prep workflows at institutional throughput where the Z327-K chassis is the platform.

Cross-format Z327-K chassis flexibility: labs that run 10 mL Vacutainer alongside 50 mL conical, 100 mL bottle, or other tube formats benefit from stocking the full Z326-100H insert family.

Ordering & Configuration

4-bucket symmetric loading. All 4 buckets must use matching A10 inserts. Mixed-bucket configurations produce mass asymmetry.

Hermetic-seal engagement. Per Hermle service instructions, the Z326-100H-LID must be fully engaged on each bucket before each spin to maintain the hermetic envelope at 4,080 × g.

Tube cap confirmation. All Vacutainer rubber stoppers must be fully seated before spinning at 5,000 rpm.

Z326-100H-A10 ships as 2 inserts. 10 mL Vacutainer-style tubes are operator-supplied (commodity clinical phlebotomy supplies). The Z326-100H bucket and Z326-100H-LID are sold separately.

Confirm at quote: bucket pairing (Z326-100H in inventory with Z326-100H-LID), chassis pairing (Z327 or Z327-K), tube format (10 mL Vacutainer-style), pack count (2 packs for full 4-bucket configuration), biosafety and cold-chain workflow requirements, and lead time.

Warranty: 5-Year Hermle warranty (3 years full + 2 years drivetrain) on the inserts. Hermetic-seal interface is a planned-inspection item for biosafety workflows, Hermle's standard service interval recommendation includes the seal-integrity check.
