Ohaus Frontier FC5916R Multipurpose Refrigerated Centrifuge
Ohaus Frontier FC5916R Multipurpose Refrigerated Centrifuge
€8.995,00 excl. VAT
The Ohaus Frontier FC5916R 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 – 16,000 rpm and a maximum relative centrifugal force of 26,331 g, giving reliable separation performance on the benchtop. The rotor accepts a maximum capacity of 4 x 750 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 ≤63±2 dB(A), and the unit weighs 260 lb (118 kg), so you can plan for the right spot in a shared lab space before it arrives. Labman stocks the Ohaus Frontier FC5916R for laboratories across Belgium, the Netherlands, and Luxembourg, with rotors and accessories sized to your protocol.

OHAUS FC5916R Refrigerated Multipurpose Centrifuge – High-Speed, High-Capacity Benchtop Solution
The OHAUS FC5916R, part of the Frontier 5000 Multi-Pro Series, is a high-performance multipurpose refrigerated centrifuge designed for laboratories requiring large-capacity, high-speed separation. With a speed range from 200 to 16,000 rpm and a maximum relative centrifugal force (RCF) of 26,331 × g, it supports high-throughput processing for research, clinical diagnostics, pharmaceutical, and industrial applications.
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.
Designed for flexibility, the FC5916R accommodates rotors up to 4 × 750 mL and supports a wide variety of tubes from 0.2 mL to 750 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 FC5916R remains relatively quiet at ≤ 63 ± 2 dB(A) and is compact enough to fit on most benchtops, with dimensions of 670 × 390 × 730 mm and a weight of 118 kg.
