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.
