Ohaus Frontier FC5513 Microtube Centrifuge
€1.645,00 excl. VAT
The Ohaus Frontier FC5513 is a microtube centrifuge built for molecular biology, DNA/RNA and protein workflows, and clinical sample preparation. It reaches speeds of 200 rpm – 13,500 rpm and a maximum relative centrifugal force of 17,317 g, giving reliable separation performance on the benchtop. The rotor accepts a maximum capacity of 24 x 1.5 / 2.0 ml, so you can size the run to the sample volumes your lab actually processes. Automatic rotor recognition, a motorized lid lock, and imbalance and over-speed protection keep operators safe during every run. Noise stays at ≤60±2 dB(A), and the unit weighs 27.8 lb (12.6 kg), so you can plan for the right spot in a shared lab space before it arrives. Labman stocks the Ohaus Frontier FC5513 for laboratories across Belgium, the Netherlands, and Luxembourg, with rotors and accessories sized to your protocol.

Ohaus FC5513 Frontier Microtube Centrifuge – Compact, Quiet & High‑Speed
The Ohaus Frontier FC5513 is a premium benchtop microtube centrifuge engineered for modern laboratories. Combining high performance and compact design, it is ideal for fast and precise centrifugation of microtubes, spin columns, capillary tubes, PCR strips, and more.
With a maximum speed of 13 500 rpm (17 317 × g) and acceleration to full speed in under 15 seconds, the FC5513 offers rapid results with low noise thanks to its quiet brushless motor.
The centrifuge is equipped with a standard rotor for 24 × 1.5/2.0 mL microtubes, and optional rotors are available for spin columns and hematocrit capillary tubes. This makes it highly versatile for molecular biology, clinical diagnostics, and general lab applications.
User-friendly features include a splash-proof touch-wheel control panel, back-lit LCD display, 99 programmable memory settings, and RPM/RCF conversion. Advanced safety functions such as imbalance detection, auto lid lock, and quick-stop provide reliable protection for users and samples.
