Ohaus Frontier FC5718 Multipurpose Centrifuge
€3.750,00 excl. VAT
The Ohaus Frontier FC5718 is a multipurpose centrifuge built for blood collection tubes, plasma and serum separation, cell culture, and industrial or pharmaceutical QC. It reaches speeds of 200 rpm – 18,000 rpm and a maximum relative centrifugal force of 23,542 g, giving reliable separation performance on the benchtop. The rotor accepts a maximum capacity of 4 x 200 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 95 lb (43 kg), so you can plan for the right spot in a shared lab space before it arrives. Labman stocks the Ohaus Frontier FC5718 for laboratories across Belgium, the Netherlands, and Luxembourg, with rotors and accessories sized to your protocol.
