Ohaus Frontier™ FC5816 and FC5816R Multi Pro Centrifuges

The Ohaus Frontier™ 5000 Series Multi-Pro Centrifuges are designed for universal use in multiple applications in research, industrial, and clinical laboratories and can be combined with a wide range of rotors and accessories for customized use. The intuitive design of the centrifuges & accessories enable easy access to parameter settings, and quick rotation between applications. They feature automatic rotor recognition and backlit LCD. The performance of these centrifuges is propelled by German engineering, and high-quality components for reliable use. They are constructed of chemical-resistant stainless steel to ensure durability in lab use. Design features include ten acceleration and deceleration rates and selection of running time from 10 s to 99 h 59 min or continuous, quick spin. These Frontier ™ 5000 Series centrifuges are equipped with protective features, including automatic over-speed protection, imbalance detection and a self-diagnostic system to ensure reliable use and operator safety.

These FC5816 models are compatible with up to 13 optional rotors and 71 accessories. Their capacity ranges from microliter (0.2 mL per tube) to 6 x 250 mL. They provide high-speed centrifugation (>10,000 rpm) from 0.2 mL up to 85 mL tubes. These models have improved sample processing through-put with additional rotor for blood collection tubes and standard conical tubes.

The FC5816 is air cooled and has a speed range of 200 - 15,000 rpm with a maximum g-force of 21,379 g. It measures 21.18” l × 17.56” w × 13.94” h (538 × 446 × 354 mm) and has a weight of 115 lb (52 kg). The FC5816R uses a CFC-free refrigeration system for a temperature range of -20 to 40°C. It also features sample temperature indication and standstill cooling. It has a speed range of 200 - 16,000 rpm with a maximum g-force of 24,325 g. The unit measures 21.18” l × 28.46” w × 13.94” h (538 × 723 × 354 mm) and has a weight of 170 lb (77 kg).
