Benchmark Z446-750-BUK Round Bucket for Z446-750-AC Rotor Pack of 2

Description

Product Overview

The Benchmark Z446-750-BUK round bucket is crafted from a high‑grade polymer that combines chemical resistance with impact durability, making it ideal for rigorous laboratory use. Each bucket measures 12 x 9 x 8 inches and weighs approximately 8 pounds, providing a stable platform for the Z446-750-AC swing‑out rotor while maintaining a compact footprint for easy storage.

Designed specifically for the Z446-750-AC swing‑out rotor, this bucket ensures precise balance during high‑speed centrifugation, reducing vibration and extending the life of both the rotor and the centrifuge. The rounded geometry promotes even distribution of samples, which is critical for reproducible results in applications such as blood component separation, cell culture harvesting, and protein precipitation.

Packaging includes two identical buckets securely nested in a recyclable box, with clear labeling that highlights the model number Z446-750-BUK and the compatible rotor model. The package dimensions of 12 x 9 x 8 inches facilitate straightforward handling and shipping, while the lightweight construction helps reduce overall transport costs.

Benchmark, a trusted name in laboratory instrumentation, subjects each bucket to rigorous quality‑control testing, including load‑bearing assessments and chemical exposure trials, to guarantee consistent performance across a wide range of experimental conditions.

Usage

These round buckets are suited for a variety of research and clinical laboratory environments, from academic biochemistry labs to high‑throughput diagnostic facilities. Their robust construction allows them to withstand repeated cycles of high‑speed operation, making them a reliable choice for daily centrifugation tasks.

Typical applications include separation of plasma from whole blood, pelleting of cultured cells, and clarification of lysates for downstream analysis. The bucket’s smooth interior surface minimizes sample adhesion, ensuring maximum recovery and reducing the need for extensive cleaning between runs.

Cleaning is straightforward: a simple rinse with mild detergent followed by a thorough water flush restores the bucket to its original condition. For more demanding decontamination, the polymer material tolerates standard laboratory disinfectants without degradation, preserving the bucket’s integrity over many years of use.

Because the buckets are supplied in a pack of two, laboratories can maintain a spare on‑hand, minimizing downtime during routine maintenance or unexpected damage. This redundancy supports continuous workflow in time‑sensitive projects such as clinical trial sample processing.
