The Z300 series includes both the ambient Z300 and refrigerated Z300 K centrifuges. Various fixed angle and swing-out rotors are available to process a variety of different tube types from 0.2 to 100 ml. These units are well suited for all standard blood collection, conical and microcentrifuge tubes as well as standard and deep well microplates. High speed and g-force make the Z300 series ideal for applications ranging from cell culture to molecular biology.

Powerful, brushless motors quickly accelerate rotors to the preset speed. Braking is dynamically controlled to bring the rotors to a soft stop without disrupting fragile samples. Operation of the centrifuge may be timed, continuous or momentary.

Microprocessor based control panels allow quick and easy programming. Operating parameters are set with convenient turn knobs while their values (run time, rpm, g-force and temperature) are shown on large digital displays.

The rotor recognition system in the Z300 series provides safety and convenience when different rotors are used. Each rotor is recognized at the beginning of a run and automatically limited to its rated maximum speed. In addition, by recognizing the rotor, the microprocessor can accurately calculate and display g-force during a run.

Ambient air circulates throughout the chamber of the Z 300 preventing significant rises in sample temperature. The powerful refrigeration system in the Z 300 K can maintain samples at or below 4ºC, even at maximum speed.
