The Thermo Scientific HFA 15.94 fixed-angle rotor is a Heraeus-design rotor for 6 x 94 mL round-bottom tubes. Moreover, this rotor offers a 26 degree angle for optimal supernatant clarity and gradual pellet formation. In addition, the HFA 15.94 reaches a maximum speed of 12,000 rpm and an RCF of 12,450 x g. As a result, you process up to 564 mL of sample per run with an aerosol-tight lid for biocontainment.
Furthermore, the HFA 15.94 stands out with its 26 degree angle versus steeper alternatives. Therefore, this configuration improves supernatant clarity after centrifugation. Moreover, this rotor is specifically designed for 94 mL round-bottom tubes with aerosol-tight sealing. Additionally, this configuration offers a good balance between pellet speed and sample recovery.
In addition, the HFA 15.94 accommodates adapters for 1.5 mL microtubes and round-bottom tubes from 3.5 to 38 mL. Subsequently, you process different tube formats on the same rotor. Moreover, this rotor is compatible with Sorvall Legend T Plus, RT Plus and Heraeus Multifuge 3S Plus, 3S-R Plus, 3L and 3L-R centrifuges. As a result, your investment in legacy centrifuges remains productive.
Finally, the HFA 15.94 is ideal for cell pelleting, protein precipitation and bottle applications up to 94 mL. Therefore, this rotor is the standard choice for laboratories with Heraeus Multifuge or Sorvall Legend Plus centrifuges. As a result, you combine biocontainment with reliable high-volume centrifugation.

Heraeus-design fixed-angle rotor for 6 x 94 mL round-bottom tubes on the Thermo Scientific Sorvall Legend T Plus and Heraeus Multifuge 3 series centrifuges. With a 26 degree angle and 12,450 x g RCF, the HFA 15.94 offers optimal supernatant clarity and integrated aerosol-tight biocontainment. Suitable for cell pelleting, protein precipitation and bottle applications.








The HFA 15.94 is compatible with the Sorvall Legend T Plus, Legend RT Plus and Heraeus Multifuge 3 series centrifuges. Moreover, this rotor works specifically on the Heraeus Multifuge 3S Plus, 3S-R Plus, 3L and 3L-R models. In addition, this rotor reaches 10,500 or 12,000 rpm depending on the centrifuge. As a result, the HFA 15.94 delivers a maximum RCF of 12,450 x g.
HFA 15.94 stands for Heraeus Fixed-Angle 15.94. Moreover, the “15” refers to the maximum rotor speed in the 15,000 rpm class. In addition, “94” stands for the capacity of 94 mL per tube. As a result, you recognise the type and specifications directly based on the model name.
The HFA 15.94 has a 26 degree angle, which is shallower than steeper alternatives. Moreover, this angle improves supernatant clarity after centrifugation. In addition, the pellet forms more along the tube wall at a shallower angle. As a result, this configuration is ideal for applications where supernatant recovery is more important than pellet consolidation.
The HFA 15.94 accommodates standard 94 mL round-bottom tubes directly in the cavity. Moreover, this rotor offers maximum tube dimensions of 38 x 114 mm. In addition, adapters are sold separately for smaller formats such as 1.5 mL microtubes and round-bottom tubes from 3.5 to 38 mL. As a result, you process different tube formats flexibly on the same rotor.
The HFA 15.94 has an aerosol-tight lid for integrated biocontainment. Moreover, this sealing prevents aerosol release during centrifugation. In addition, you process biohazardous samples safely without separate biocontainment vessels. As a result, you combine high-volume centrifugation with sample safety in a single rotor.
The HFA 15.94 is highly suitable for cell pelleting, protein precipitation and bottle applications up to 94 mL. Moreover, this rotor is the standard choice for laboratories with Heraeus Multifuge 3 or Sorvall Legend Plus centrifuges. In addition, this rotor accommodates microbiological sample processing and cell harvest. Furthermore, this rotor is suitable for protein purification and routine sample preparation.
