Hermle Z216 MK Refrigerated Centrifuge
The Hermle Z216 MK Refrigerated Centrifuge is an advanced and compact device, tailor-made for the demands of modern molecular biology laboratories. It operates quietly while delivering powerful performance with a speed range of 200 to 15,000 RPM, achieving a maximum RCF of 21,631 x g. This model is compatible with various microtube sizes and types, including PCR strips, hematocrit tubes, and up to 5.0ml centrifuge tubes, offering exceptional versatility with ten rotor options. A standout feature is its compressor-driven cooling system that can cool down to 4C from room temperature in under ten minutes and maintain temperatures as low as -20C.
The Z216 MK includes a microprocessor-controlled system with a large LCD display that allows users to easily program or modify settings like speed, temperature (in C or F), acceleration, and deceleration rates, directly from its user-friendly front panel. Furthermore, the device is designed for safety and efficiency, with features like motor-driven lid lock, active imbalance identification, and a CFC-free refrigeration system. Its noise level remains below 60dBA, even at high speeds, ensuring a quiet lab environment. The model’s compact size, combined with a space-saving footprint and easy one-handed operation, make it an ideal choice for labs with stringent space and usability requirements. The included 221.81 24 x 1.5/2.0ml Fixed Angle Rotor reaches a maximum speed of 15,000 RPM and a maximum RCF of 21,379 x g.
All of our equipment is in excellent condition and will be fully tested to perform at factory specifications before being shipped.
Please confirm this rotor meets your application needs and request a different rotor, if necessary. Available rotors can be found in our Rotor Compatibility Guide.

Centrifuge Inspection and Recertification Checklist
- Confirm the power supply output voltages match specified requirements for stable distribution to all internal components
- Measure and verify voltages at PCB test points to ensure accurate power delivery and circuit integrity
- Confirm rotor compatibility with the centrifuge model and check that rotor detection systems recognize the rotor type
- Inspect the exterior for any cosmetic or structural damage that could affect performance or safety
- Check the door mechanism alignment to ensure secure and smooth opening and closing
- Inspect and replace the gas strut with an OEM part to maintain proper door support and safety
- Examine the rotor chamber bowl for dents or damage and replace as needed to ensure safe operation
- Replace and confirm full functionality of all lid lock switches to maintain secure closure
- Inspect and lubricate the door lock mechanism, applying grease to the lid lock rail for smooth operation
- Test compressor functionality (if applicable) to ensure proper operation and consistent temperature control
- Conduct an 8-12 hour cycle test to validate consistent performance over prolonged use
- Confirm rotor motor stability, check for unusual noise, and assess mechanical integrity during operation
- Inspect the condensation drain and clear any clogs to prevent moisture buildup in the rotor chamber
- Verify RPM accuracy using an NIST-traceable tachometer and perform calibration as necessary
- Check the centrifuge error log to ensure zero recorded issues, confirming system reliability
