24 × 15 mL Conical Insert for Z496-1000-RBUK (2/pk)

The Z496-1000-A15 is the 24 × 15 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 96 × 15 mL conical tubes per cycle — the headline "96 × 15 mL conical" throughput claim from the Z496-K brochure depends on this insert. This is the highest-throughput 15 mL processing setup in the Hermle catalog — a single Z496-K cycle handles what would take 8 cycles of a 12-position Z326-1215 rotor.

Key Specifications

Compatibility & Configuration

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

96-tube-per-cycle throughput is meaningful for institutional-scale 15 mL workflows:

• Phlebotomy batch processing — a high-volume clinical-research draw of 50–96 primary tubes spins in one cycle
• Biobank aliquot prep — biobanking workflows that spin large 15 mL conical batches for serum/plasma aliquots before cryostorage
• Microbiology batch culture — bacterial-culture aliquots in 15 mL format at production-scale parallel throughput
• Multi-PI shared cores — combined 15 mL workflow batches across multiple research groups in single cycles

Cold-chain 15 mL workflows on Z496-K — combines 96-tube throughput with chassis refrigeration.

Ordering & Configuration

Z496-1000-A15 ships as 2 inserts. 15 mL conical tubes are operator-supplied.
