OHAUS FC5816 Multipurpose Centrifuge – High-Capacity & High-Speed Lab Solution
The OHAUS FC5816, part of the Frontier 5000 Multi-Pro Series, is a high-performance multipurpose centrifuge engineered for laboratories requiring large-capacity, high-speed separation. With a speed range from 200 to 15,000 rpm and a maximum RCF of 21,379 × g, it supports high-throughput processing for research, clinical diagnostics, pharmaceutical, and industrial applications.
Designed for flexibility, the FC5816 accommodates rotors up to 6 × 250 mL and supports a wide variety of tubes from 0.2 mL to 250 mL, including both angle and swing-out rotors. The centrifuge is supplied without a rotor, giving users full freedom to choose from a broad range of compatible options based on their specific workflow needs.
Key features include a corrosion-resistant stainless-steel chamber, backlit LCD display, and a rotary knob for intuitive control. The unit offers 99 programmable memory slots, 10 acceleration and 10 braking profiles, and flexible run times from 10 seconds to 99 hours 59 minutes, plus a Quick Spin option for rapid cycles.
Advanced safety features such as automatic rotor recognition, motorized lid lock, over-speed protection, and imbalance detection provide reliable and secure operation. Despite its performance, the FC5816 remains relatively quiet at ≤ 61 ± 2 dB(A) and is compact enough to fit on most benchtops, with dimensions of 538 × 354 × 446 mm and a weight of 52 kg.
