Ohaus® Frontier™ 5000 Series Microcentrifuges
By Ohaus
Ohaus® Frontier™ 5513 & 5513R Benchtop Micro Centrifuges are 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, Frontier 5513 & 5513R 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 & 5513R offer standard 24 x 1.5/2 ml microtube rotors with a biosealed 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 & FC5513R features convenient control on a protective splash-proof interface, which allows for responsive operation—even when wearing gloves.
- With a small footprint, Frontier 5513 & 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.
Ohaus® Frontier™ 5515 and 5515R Benchtop Micro Centrifuges provide high-speed operation for spin-down applications requiring a wide variety of tube volumes and capacities. With refrigeration capabilities (FC5515R), 10 acceleration/deceleration settings, multiple safety features, and an unmatched capacity, Frontier provides stable liquid separation for applications requiring high-speed operation.
Unique Features:
- Excellent functionality when used with rotors compatible with 1.5/2.0 ml or 5 ml microtubes with high throughput & BIOSEALS options, spin columns, PCR strips, cryo tubes & hematocrit capillaries.
- Designed for ease of operation, Frontier Micro centrifuges feature convenient control on an intuitive interface, which allows for responsive operation – even when wearing gloves.
- Enclosing all their functionalities within a small footprint, Frontier Micro centrifuges save valuable space on the lab bench.
