About Herolab
Herolab has been developing and manufacturing laboratory centrifuges and UV technology at its Wiesloch site since 1979. The portfolio includes benchtop and floor-standing centrifuges (HiCen, UniCen, MicroCen series), robot-assisted centrifuges for laboratory automation (RobotCen), networked centrifuges (SmartCen), centrifugal concentrators as well as rotors, adapters and sample vessels made of plastics such as polypropylene, polycarbonate and polyethylene. In addition, UV transilluminators, UV-C disinfection lamps and UV analysis lamps are manufactured. Customer-specific solutions include application-specific devices, inert gas purging and integration into automated workflows. Customers include pharmaceutical and biotechnology laboratories, research and higher education institutions, industrial and testing laboratories as well as laboratory automation and system integration. The company is a subsidiary of Labsun GmbH and distributes its products worldwide via sales partners.
