Ohaus Frontier FC5306 Mini Centrifuge
Ohaus Frontier FC5306 Mini Centrifuge
€281,00 excl. VAT
The Ohaus Frontier FC5306 is a mini centrifuge built for quick PCR strip and microtube spin-downs in teaching, QC, and routine sample prep labs. It reaches speeds of 0 rpm – 6,000 rpm and a maximum relative centrifugal force of 2,000 g, giving reliable separation performance on the benchtop. The rotor accepts a maximum capacity of 8 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 2.3 lb (1.1 kg), so you can plan for the right spot in a shared lab space before it arrives. This configuration ships with the Angle rotor 4 x 8 place PCR Strips; Angle 8 x 1.5 ml / 2.0 ml rotor already fitted, so it is ready to run out of the box. Labman stocks the Ohaus Frontier FC5306 for laboratories across Belgium, the Netherlands, and Luxembourg, with rotors and accessories sized to your protocol.
