OHAUS™ Frontier™ 5000 Series Micro Centrifuge

Description

Frontier™ 5513 and 5513R Benchtop Micro Centrifuges as high speed centrifuges are capable of generating approx 17,000 x g. With refrigeration capabilities (FC5513R), seven optional rotors are designed for a range of essential lab applications. Engineered with convenient operation in mind, this device feature a uniquely designed splash-proof front panel with touch-wheel control on an intuitive interface. The compact design saves valuable bench space in the lab. Unique Features:

• Frontier™ 5513 and 5513R offer standard 24 x 1.5/2 mL microtube rotors with a BIOSEALS option. The centrifuges can also support spin columns and hematocrit capillary tubes when used with additional rotor options.
• Designed for ease of operation, the FC5513 and FC5513R feature convenient control on a protective splash-proof interface, which allows for responsive operation, even when wearing gloves.
• With a small footprint, Frontier™ 5513 and 5513R centrifuges are compact enough to save valuable space on the bench, yet large enough to accommodate the most common size 24 x 1.5/2.0 mL rotors.

Sleekly designed interface enables smooth operation for a great user experience

• Easy-to-use touch-wheel interface for parameter adjustments
• Convenient interface shows both set and actual parameters
• One-touch toggling between RPM/RCF, Acc/Dec
• Crisp display on a double-line LCD display with backlight

Solid engineering to ensure functionality and reliability

• True splash-proof panel protects the centrifuge from accidental sample spilling
• Maintenance-free induction motor produces maximum G-force of 17,317 x g for FC5513 and 17,157 x g for FC5513R
• Speeds up to 13,500 rpm in less than 15 seconds with 24 x 1.5/2.0 mL rotor
