Professional Hettich Mikro 20 Laboratory Centrifuge with 24-Place Rotor (Typ 2073)

Enhance your laboratory, veterinary clinic, or research facility with this highly reliable and robust Hettich Mikro 20 (Type 2004) microcentrifuge. Manufactured in Tuttlingen, Germany—the world capital of medical technology—Hettich centrifuges are globally renowned for their exceptional build quality, outstanding safety profile, and quiet, maintenance-free performance.

This compact benchtop unit is designed for the rapid separation of small-volume samples and is equipped with a premium matching 24-place angle rotor (Typ 2073), making it ideal for PCR preparation, molecular biology, clinical diagnostics, and biochemical research.

Key Features & Technical Specifications:

• High-Speed Performance: Reaches rotational speeds up to 13,000 RPM. The digital control panel allows you to precisely set and view both speed (RPM x 100) and run time (t).
• 24-Place Angle Rotor (Typ 2073 included): Optimized for standard 1.5 ml or 2.0 ml microcentrifuge (Eppendorf-style) tubes. It can also accommodate smaller microtubes (0.2 ml to 0.5 ml) using standard plastic adapter inserts.
• German Engineering: Built with a durable composite casing, steel-reinforced safety chamber, and an impact-resistant safety lid.
• Brushless Drive Motor: Provides exceptionally smooth, quiet, and vibration-free operation even at peak speeds.

  • Max Speed: 13,000 U/min 

Thoroughly Tested & Fully Operational:

As a specialist seller of pre-owned laboratory gear, I ensure all equipment undergoes strict functional testing before listing:

• Spin Test: The centrifuge was spun up to 13,000 RPM without issue. Acceleration is swift, and the motor runs quietly with excellent balance.
• Electronics & Display: The digital segment displays are fully illuminated and bright. The control buttons dial in settings accurately.
• Safety Lock: The electronic lid-lock mechanism holds the lid securely closed during operation and releases promptly when the run is complete.

Honest Cosmetic & Maintenance Notes:

To ensure complete transparency and maintain the highest level of trust:

• Yellow Discoloration: There is distinct yellow discoloration/staining along the interior plastic rim and the rubber gasket sealing area of the lid opening. This is a very common cosmetic occurrence in lab equipment due to UV light exposure, chemical disinfectants, or sterilization agents. It does not affect the seal, performance, or safety of the centrifuge.
• Consumable Adapters: The rotor includes standard adapter sleeves. A few of these plastic sleeves are chipped or partial around the rims from age and use. These are cheap, consumable plastic inserts that can be easily removed to fit standard 1.5 ml/2.0 ml tubes directly, or replaced if you require smaller tubes.
• Underside Oxidation: As shown in the detailed close-up photos of the undercarriage, there is surface rust on the steel bolts/nuts. This is standard for pre-owned lab gear due to benchtop wipe-downs with sanitizers or bleach, and does not affect the operation or structural integrity of the centrifuge.

This is a premium, ready-to-work centrifuge that will deliver years of dependable service at a fraction of the cost of a new model.
