6 × 50 mL Angle Rotor (Z206-A Only)

The Z206-0650 is the 6-position 50 mL angle rotor for the Hermle Z206-A Compact Centrifuge, engineered specifically for the Z206-A chassis spindle and chamber geometry. At 6,000 rpm / 4,427 × g across 6 × 50 mL conical or round-bottom tubes per cycle, this rotor extends the Z206-A's workflow range to 50 mL primary-tube clinical separation and mid-volume cell-culture pellet recovery. Per the Z206 brochure, this rotor is "for Z206-A only", not interchangeable with other Hermle chassis.

Key Specifications

Compatibility & Configuration

Chassis compatibility: Z206-A only. This rotor is engineered for the Z206-A Compact Centrifuge spindle and chamber geometry. RFID-tagged; chassis applies the rated 6,000 rpm cap automatically.

Direct fit for both 50 mL conical and 50 mL round-bottom: the 29 mm ø position accepts both standard 50 mL formats (Falcon-style conical at 116 mm length, round-bottom at 100/120 mm length).

Adapter library for smaller-volume work (sold separately):

• Z206-50-A15: 1 × 15 mL conical (17 mm ø, 120 mm length)
• Z206-50-A57: 1 × 7 mL Vacutainer (13 mm ø, 95/115 mm length)
• Z206-50-A5C: 5 mL tube cushion (6/pk), nests inside Z206-50-A57 to step down 7 mL adapter to 5 mL tube envelope

The adapter family is Z206-prefix (vs the Z326-prefix family used on other Hermle chassis); these adapters are Z206-A-specific.

Application Profile

6 × 50 mL clinical separation on the Z206-A: serum/plasma separation, cell-pellet recovery from 50 mL primary clinical-research aliquots at 4,427 × g.

Mid-volume cell-culture pellet recovery. Mammalian cell pelleting at 300–500 × g, bacterial pelleting at 1,500–4,000 × g, both within the rotor's RCF range.

Microbiology batch culture handling in 50 mL conical at 6-tube parallel throughput.

Mixed-format workflows via adapter loading. 6 × 15 mL via Z206-50-A15 adapter, 6 × 7 mL Vacutainer via Z206-50-A57, 6 × 5 mL via the Z206-50-A5C cushion (nested in A57).

Educational and clinical-research labs using the Z206-A as the lab's primary universal centrifuge.

Ordering & Configuration

6-tube symmetric loading. Opposite-pair distribution (1+4, 2+5, 3+6); pre-balance pairs by weight.

Adapter consistency required across all 6 positions when using adapters.

Z206-0650 ships as the rotor body alone. Adapters sold separately per workflow.

Confirm Z206-A chassis pairing, adapter inventory needed for smaller-volume tube formats, training, lead time at quote.

Warranty: 5-Year Hermle warranty (3 years full + 2 years drivetrain) on the rotor body.

Z206-A rotor catalog note: the Z206-0650 (this product) is the 50 mL workflow rotor for the Z206-A. The Z206 chassis rotor catalog also includes Z206-1215 (12 × 15 mL) and other format-specific rotors. For 50 mL workflows on other Hermle chassis families (Z326, Z327, Z366, Z446), pick the chassis-matched rotor. Z206 rotors are not cross-compatible.
