OHAUS Frontier 5000 angle rotor R-A12X5/14MS

This high-performance angle rotor is specially designed for demanding centrifugation processes and offers a very flexible sample capacity. As part of the Frontier series, it is ideal for applications where high speeds and reliable results are essential - from routine sample preparation to intensive laboratory use. In addition, the robust design ensures a long service life and enables versatile use in a wide range of laboratory environments. Compared to similar rotor models, the product impresses with its sophisticated design and ease of use, allowing users to increase their sample processing quickly and easily.

Versatile properties for professional centrifuging processes

Thanks to its sturdy construction made of high-quality aluminium alloy or polypropylene, the rotor is extremely durable and resistant to heavy-duty use. It is easy to install and remove, which makes daily laboratory work much simpler. With maximum speeds of up to 14500 rpm and a maximum relative centrifugal force of 19978 g, this rotor is suitable for routine analyses as well as complex protocols in research facilities or industrial laboratories. The sophisticated 45° angle configuration also enables efficient sedimentation, resulting in clear separation of samples.

The possible applications are wide-ranging: from the preparation of medical samples to the separation of particles in food or environmental analysis, the rotor covers a broad spectrum of applications. With a capacity of 12 x 5 ml, it is ideal for small and medium sample volumes without users having to compromise on quality or safety. In addition, the sophisticated design allows for easy cleaning, which makes it much easier to comply with hygiene and quality standards. This is particularly advantageous when processing samples with biological material or sensitive substances.Due to its robust design and the possibility of sterilising the rotors (e.g. in an autoclave), it can also be used in areas where a very high level of cleanliness is required. Suitable working temperatures from -20 °C to 50 °C also extend the range of applications. The product remains stable even under demanding conditions and ensures consistent performance at a constantly high speed. Tests and user reports confirm its reliability, allowing laboratory staff to benefit from a reduction in potential downtime in their daily routine.Important technical data at a glance
