The Z496-1000-A5F is the 24 × 5 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 × 5 mL conical tubes per cycle. The 5 mL tube format covers Vacutainer-style clinical-research primary samples and small-volume conical-tube workflows; the 96-per-cycle throughput delivers institutional-scale parallel processing for clinical-research and biobanking labs that handle 5 mL primary samples in volume.

Insert pairing — Z496-1000-RBUK rectangular bucket only.
96-tube 5 mL parallel throughput. Production-scale 5 mL clinical-research and Vacutainer-format batch processing — a single Z496-K cycle handles a high-volume phlebotomy session's worth of 5 mL primary tubes without splitting across multiple spins.
Clinical-research 5 mL Vacutainer batch processing — serum/plasma separation from Vacutainer-style 5 mL primary tubes at institutional batch scale.
Cold-chain 5 mL workflows on Z496-K — combines 96-tube throughput with chassis refrigeration for cold-stable analyte workflows in 5 mL format.
Method-development scale-up — when characterizing a workflow at small-tube scale before scaling to larger tubes, the 96-tube parallel processing supports controlled-variable comparisons across many sample variations.
Z496-1000-A5F ships as 2 inserts. 5 mL conical tubes are operator-supplied.

- Z496-1000-A5F (this product) — 24 × 5 mL conical (96/cycle full)
- Z496-1000-A57 — 46 × 5–7 mL Vacutainer (184/cycle full)
- Z496-1000-A10 — 38 × 10 mL (152/cycle full)
- Z496-1000-A15 — 24 × 15 mL conical (96/cycle full)
The A5F is the dedicated 5 mL conical pick; the A57 is the Vacutainer-format alternative at higher throughput with a different tube-bottom shape.
