Ohaus Frontier FC5515R Refrigerated High-Speed Microtube Centrifuge

€5.300,00 excl. VAT

Estimated delivery time: 2-3 weeks

The Ohaus Frontier FC5515R is a refrigerated microtube centrifuge built for molecular biology, DNA/RNA and protein workflows, and clinical sample preparation. It reaches speeds of 200 rpm – 15,200 rpm and a maximum relative centrifugal force of 21,953 g, giving reliable separation performance on the benchtop. The rotor accepts a maximum capacity of 44 x 1.5 / 2.0ml; 12 x 5 ml, so you can size the run to the sample volumes your lab actually processes. The refrigeration system now runs on R290, a natural low-GWP refrigerant, keeping the unit ahead of current F-gas regulations. Automatic rotor recognition, a motorized lid lock, and imbalance and over-speed protection keep operators safe during every run. Noise stays at ≤57±2 dB(A), and the unit weighs 77 lb (35 kg), so you can plan for the right spot in a shared lab space before it arrives. Labman stocks the Ohaus Frontier FC5515R for laboratories across Belgium, the Netherlands, and Luxembourg, with rotors and accessories sized to your protocol.

Ohaus FC5515R Refrigerated High‑Speed Microtube Centrifuge – Temperature-Controlled Performance for Critical Lab Applications

The Ohaus FC5515R is a refrigerated high-speed microtube centrifuge designed to meet the demands of modern laboratories that require both high performance and precise temperature control. With a maximum speed of 15 200 rpm (21 953 × g), this centrifuge delivers powerful acceleration while protecting temperature-sensitive samples through reliable cooling.

This model has been transitioned to R290, a natural propane-based refrigerant with a low Global Warming Potential. The change keeps this centrifuge ahead of the EU F-gas Regulation 2024/573 and the US EPA SNAP phase-down of high-GWP refrigerants such as R452A, while matching the original stricter timeline rather than the extended deadline. The refrigeration circuit is hermetically sealed and complies with IEC 61010-2-011, the safety standard for laboratory equipment using flammable refrigerants, so operators keep full protection even in the unlikely event of a rotor failure or ignition risk.

The FC5515R maintains sample integrity with a temperature range from –20 °C to +40 °C, reaching 4 °C in under 10 minutes even at maximum speed. Its fast, quiet operation and user-friendly interface make it ideal for molecular biology, clinical diagnostics, and high-throughput processing.

Equipped to handle up to 44 × 1.5/2.0 mL microtubes or 12 × 5 mL tubes, the FC5515R supports seven different rotors, including options for PCR strips, spin columns, hematocrit capillaries, and sealed bio-containment applications.

Its intuitive touch-wheel interface with back-lit dual-line LCD allows easy control of speed, RCF, time, and temperature. With 99 programmable settings, labs can save and repeat complex protocols with ease.
