Ohaus FC5515 High-Speed Microtube Centrifuge – Powerful and Versatile for High-Throughput Labs
The Ohaus FC5515 Frontier is a high-speed microtube centrifuge built to handle demanding laboratory tasks with precision and efficiency. With a top speed of 15 200 rpm (21 953 × g) and support for multiple rotor configurations, this centrifuge delivers exceptional versatility for molecular biology, clinical diagnostics, and research workflows.
The FC5515 accommodates a wide range of sample sizes with its support for up to 44 × 1.5/2.0 mL tubes or 12 × 5 mL tubes, using interchangeable rotors. Optional rotors are available for PCR strips, spin columns, and hematocrit capillaries, making it ideal for varied lab procedures.
User control is streamlined through a splash-proof touch-wheel and dual-line back-lit LCD, allowing fast adjustments to speed, time, and RCF. With up to 99 programmable memory slots, labs can ensure repeatable performance across experiments.
Engineered for safety and quiet operation, the FC5515 includes automatic lid locking, imbalance detection, rotor identification, quick-stop function, and operates at a noise level of ≤ 60 ± 2 dB(A). Its compact footprint fits easily on crowded benchtops, and its brushless motor ensures long-lasting, maintenance-free performance.
