The Ohaus Frontier FC5718R is a refrigerated 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. 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 ≤60±2 dB(A), and the unit weighs 132 lb (60 kg), so you can plan for the right spot in a shared lab space before it arrives. Labman stocks the Ohaus Frontier FC5718R for laboratories across Belgium, the Netherlands, and Luxembourg, with rotors and accessories sized to your protocol.

Refrigerated Multipurpose centrifuge for High-Throughput Laboratory Separation: Ohaus Frontier FC5718R

OHAUS FC5718R Refrigerated Multipurpose Centrifuge – High-Speed Cooling for Critical Samples

The OHAUS FC5718R, part of the Frontier 5000 Multi‑Pro Series, is a refrigerated multipurpose centrifuge designed for high-throughput and temperature-sensitive applications in research, clinical, industrial, and environmental laboratories. With a speed range of 200 to 18,000 rpm, reaching up to 23,542 × g, it is ideal for procedures such as protein purification, cell pelleting, nucleic acid preparation, and environmental sample processing.

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.

Equipped with a CFC-free refrigeration system, the FC5718R maintains precise temperature control from –20 °C to +40 °C, with rapid precooling to 4 °C in under 10 minutes—perfect for preserving sample integrity. The rugged stainless-steel chamber, brushless motor, and reinforced design ensure durability, safety, and quiet operation (≤ 60 ± 2 dB(A)).

The centrifuge features a bright backlit LCD display, a rotary knob for intuitive control, and advanced programmability including 99 memory slots, 10 acceleration and 10 braking profiles, and run times from 10 seconds to 99 hours 59 minutes, or continuous. A Quick Spin function is also available for fast, timed separations.

The FC5718R is supplied without a rotor, giving users the flexibility to choose from a wide range of angle and swing-out rotors compatible with tube volumes from 0.2 mL up to 4 × 200 mL. Automatic rotor identification, imbalance detection, over-speed protection, and a motorized lid lock ensure safe operation during high-speed runs.

With its compact yet powerful design—731 × 359 × 407 mm, weighing 60 kg—the FC5718R delivers consistent, high-performance refrigerated centrifugation for demanding lab environments.

Key Features:

Speed Range: 200–18,000 rpm (up to 23,542 × g)
Temperature Control: –20 °C to +40 °C, 4 °C in <10 minutes
Programmability: 99 memory programs; 10 acceleration and braking profiles
Run Time: 10 seconds to 99 h 59 min or continuous; Quick Spin mode
Safety Features: Auto rotor recognition, imbalance detection, lid lock, over-speed protection
Noise Level: ≤ 60 ± 2 dB(A)
Power Supply: 660 W, 230 V
Construction: Stainless steel chamber
Dimensions: 731 × 359 × 407 mm
