10 × 50 mL Conical Insert for Z496-1000-RBUK (2/pk)

The Z496-1000-A50 is the 10 × 50 mL conical insert for the Hermle Z496-1000-RBUK rectangular bucket — sold as a 2-pack. With the full 4-bucket configuration (2 units of this SKU = 4 inserts), the rotor processes 40 × 50 mL conical tubes per cycle — the headline "40 × 50 mL conical" throughput claim from the Z496-K brochure depends on this insert. For high-throughput 50 mL conical workflows in clinical-research, biobanking, and academic-core environments, this insert + Z496-K combination is the highest-throughput tube-processing setup in the Hermle line.

Key Specifications

Compatibility & Configuration

Insert pairing — Z496-1000-RBUK rectangular bucket only. Engineered to fit inside the rectangular-bucket envelope.

40-tube-per-cycle throughput is the headline Z496-K spec for 50 mL conical workflows — meaningfully higher than what any benchtop centrifuge in the Hermle line achieves for 50 mL throughput per cycle. For institutional cores running large 50 mL batches (vaccine pre-concentration, cell-culture pellet recovery, biobank aliquot processing), this insert delivers production-scale throughput on a single chassis.

Cold-chain 50 mL workflows on Z496-K — combines the 40-tube throughput with chassis refrigeration for cold-stable protein, vaccine, and cell-culture work.

Ordering & Configuration

Z496-1000-A50 ships as 2 inserts. 50 mL conical tubes are operator-supplied consumables.

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

Z496-1000-A50 vs Z496-1000-A50R selection: the A50 (this product) holds conical 50 mL tubes (Falcon-style); the A50R holds round-bottom 50 mL tubes. Pick based on the workflow's tube-bottom geometry — conical for downstream pellet aspiration to the tip; round-bottom for bulk-supernatant recovery.
