OHAUS Frontier FC5515 Micro Centrifuges

Overview

Smooth and Dependable High-Speed Microliter Centrifuge for Liquid Separation Applications 

Frontier 5515 and 5515R microliter benchtop centrifuges provide high-speed operation for spin-down applications requiring a wide variety of tube volumes and capacities. With refrigeration capabilities (FC5515R), 10 acceleration/deceleration settings, multiple safety features, and an unmatched capacity, Frontier provides stable liquid separation for applications requiring high-speed operation.

Features :

• Easy-to-Use Control Panel that Supports Simple Operation—The intuitive control panel with rotary knob puts the centrifuge’s simple operations at your fingertips, including the ability to set and recall speed and g-force, as well as control the temperature (FC5515R only).
• Sophisticated Technology that Drives High-Performance—A powerful brushless induction motor, 10 acceleration and deceleration settings, and memory for up to 99 commonly-used parameters are a few of Frontier’s features that propel high-performance.
• Safety Features that Protect Against Injury—Among Frontier’s safety attributes are a motorized lid locking system and a rotor imbalance sensor that stops the centrifuge if the rotors become imbalanced or sudden shock occurs, protecting the operator from the high-speed spinning rotors.
• Seven Rotor Sizes that Provide Flexibility for Varied Centrifugation Needs—Compatible with seven different rotors, more than any centrifuge in its class, the highly-versatile Frontier can be used for various applications of different volumes.

Rotors sold separately. See below for options.
