OHAUS multifunctional centrifuge Frontier 5000 Multi series
The OHAUS multifunctional Frontier 5000 Multi series centrifuge is a compact and versatile laboratory centrifuge specially designed for general applications with small sample volumes. Its clear advantage over other devices lies in the combination of high safety features, ease of operation and a wide range of rotors that can accommodate different sample formats. At the same time, the space-saving design is designed to make efficient use of valuable laboratory bench space.
Powerful technology and convenient operation
Thanks to its quiet, brushless motor, this centrifuge operates at low noise levels and is therefore ideal for laboratories that value a pleasant working environment. The intuitive user interface supports quick settings and is easy to operate even when wearing gloves. A two-line LCD display with backlighting provides users with a clear overview of the speed, time and other device status at all times.
The centrifuge enables reliable processing of small blood or urine tubes, as well as larger volumes such as 50 ml tubes. Sample tubes from 1.5 ml can also be used with optional accessories. This makes the device suitable for both routine laboratory work and specialised applications. Various rotor options - including angle rotors or swing-out rotors - increase flexibility in sample preparation and allow adaptation to different experiment designs or diagnostic tests.
Technical features at a glance
- Speed range: 200 to 6,800 rpm (depending on model)
- Maximum relative centrifugal force: up to 4,445 g
- Rotor compatibility: Angled rotor (8 × 15 ml, 12 × 15 ml, 6 × 50 ml) and swing-out rotor (4 × 10 ml, 6 × 5 ml), depending on the model
- Programme memory: up to 99 programmes for reproducible processes
- Display: LCD with backlight for optimum readability
- Noise level: ? 60±2 dB(A) or ? 56±2 dB(A), depending on model and speed
- Safety features: CE and FCC certifications, motorised or interlocked lid opening (depending on model)
Other details include a robustly designed lid lock, up to ten acceleration and deceleration levels and the option of either continuous or timed operation. With the quickspin mode, samples can be sedimented or mixed in a very short time. Thanks to the compact design, the space requirement is low, which is a great advantage, especially in laboratories with limited working space.
Certifications and standards
This laboratory centrifuge is CE and FCC certified, which stands for conformity with the essential health and safety requirements. By reliably complying with the relevant standards, the device offers a high level of operational safety and gives users the assurance that all relevant guidelines are being observed.
Examples of applications
- Separation of blood components in medical and diagnostic laboratories
- Preparation of urine samples for analysing and identifying components
- Protein separation and clarification of cell lysates in biotechnological research laboratories
- Preparation of samples for further analytical steps, for example in environmental analysis
The robust design and comprehensive range of rotors make it possible to carry out both standard applications and special tests. Thanks to the freely programmable sequences, recurring tests can be standardised efficiently
FAQs
How is the centrifuge adapted to different vessel sizes?
By exchanging or equipping the rotors with adapter accessories. This means that different volumes, from 1.5 ml to 50 ml, can be processed without any problems.
Which safety mechanisms are integrated
Most models have a motorised or mechanically locked lid. In addition, all models are CE and FCC-certified, enabling safe, standard-compliant operation.
Can the appliance perform continuous and short runs?
Yes, users can set the operation in different modes: continuous, timed (from 10 seconds to 99 hours, 59 minutes and 59 seconds) or quickspin for very short centrifugation times.
Is it possible to programme individual parameters?
The device has up to 99 memory locations and allows you to save customised programmes to quickly recall recurring centrifuging sequences.
Conclusion
This versatile laboratory centrifuge offers an optimal solution for a wide range of applications in research, diagnostics and routine analysis thanks to its compact design, high flexibility in rotor selection and the ability to easily adapt to different tube sizes. Thanks to the intuitive user interface, robust design and extensive safety functions, samples can be processed quickly, efficiently and reliably. Thanks to its multifunctionality and long service life, the device is a worthwhile investment for laboratories that require a modern, future-proof and space-saving centrifugation solution.
