The Hermle-Benchmark Z327-K refrigerated universal centrifuge combines high-speed performance — 18,000 rpm and a maximum RCF of 23,542 × g — with active temperature control from −20°C to +40°C, making it an essential instrument for temperature-sensitive centrifugation workflows across research and clinical laboratories. As part of the universal centrifuge lineup at ARES Scientific, the Z327-K features a rear-mounted refrigeration system that maintains a compact 15.7-inch width, conserving valuable bench space while delivering the cooling power to keep all rotors below 4°C even at maximum speed. With up to 19 interchangeable rotor options — including swing-out rotors for tubes up to 4 × 200 mL, high-speed fixed-angle rotors for microtubes and 50 mL conical tubes, and dedicated microplate rotors — this refrigerated benchtop centrifuge supports applications from enzyme isolation and protein purification to blood component separation and cell culture processing.

The Z327-K refrigerated lab centrifuge is built around a maintenance-free brushless induction drive and advanced microprocessor controls with a large LCD display. Operators can pre-select temperature in 1°C increments and use the Quick-COOL feature to rapidly bring the stainless steel chamber to the target temperature before starting a run. An automatic RFID rotor identification system applies rotor-specific speed limits and activates over-speed protection upon insertion, while active imbalance detection provides rotor-specific cut-off for safe, unattended operation. With up to 99 programmable protocols, 10 selectable acceleration and deceleration rates, and a timer extending to 99 hours and 59 minutes with continuous-run capability, the Z327-K gives operators precise control over every centrifugation parameter.

Manufactured by Benchmark Scientific in collaboration with Hermle Labortechnik, the Z327-K refrigerated centrifuge operates below 63 dBA at maximum speed and complies with IEC 61010 international safety standards. Its CFC-free refrigeration system and motor-driven lid lock make it well suited for shared laboratories, blood bank processing facilities, and clinical environments that demand both performance and regulatory compliance. Pair the Z327-K with complementary benchtop instruments such as homogenizers and vortex mixers to build a complete temperature-controlled sample preparation workflow. ARES Scientific is an authorized distributor for Benchmark Scientific, ensuring you receive a genuine Hermle Z327-K with full manufacturer warranty and dedicated technical support.
