OHAUS FC5513+R02 Frontier 5000 Micro Centrifuge, 24 x 1.5/2.0 ml Capacity, High-Speed, LCD Display

OHAUS FC5513+R02 Frontier 5000 Micro Centrifuge — 13,500 RPM with BIOSEALS Biocontainment Rotor

High-speed micro-centrifugation for biosafe sample handling demands both performance and protection. The OHAUS FC5513+R02 Frontier 5000 Micro Centrifuge reaches 13,500 rpm — generating up to 17,317 × g — and ships with a 24-place BIOSEALS angle rotor designed for safe processing of biologically hazardous materials. For researchers working with infectious agents, clinical samples, or sensitive nucleic acids, this combination of speed and biocontainment is essential.

Key Features

• 13,500 RPM Maximum Speed: Delivers up to 17,317 × g relative centrifugal force for applications requiring rapid pelleting, phase separation, or ultrafiltration of micro-volume samples.
• 24-Place BIOSEALS Angle Rotor Included: The included 30472302 rotor accommodates 24 × 1.5 / 2.0 ml tubes with aerosol-tight biocontainment seals for work with hazardous biological samples.
• 10-Step Acceleration and Deceleration: Adjustable ramp profiles allow gentle acceleration and braking for fragile separations such as cell pellets, layered gradients, and protein precipitates.
• 99 Programmable Memory Slots: Store frequently used speed, time, and ramp combinations so established protocols can be recalled instantly without re-entry.
• Quickspin Function: Single-touch short-duration spin enables rapid sample consolidation between procedure steps without navigating through timed run menus.
• Mechanical Lid Lock: Safety interlock prevents rotor access during operation, meeting centrifuge safety requirements for general laboratory and biosafety environments.
• Compact Bench Footprint: 356 × 236 × 277 mm dimensions keep the FC5513+R02 practical even in space-limited laboratory workstations.

Detailed Overview

The FC5513+R02 bundles the FC5513 centrifuge body with an angle rotor purpose-built for biocontainment applications. The BIOSEALS rotor design creates an aerosol-tight sealed environment around 1.5 / 2.0 ml tubes, protecting the user and surrounding environment when processing samples that carry infectious or biohazardous potential. An LCD display with backlight provides clear readout of speed, RCF, time, and acceleration settings in any lighting condition. With 10 selectable acceleration and 10 deceleration gear levels, users can fine-tune run profiles to preserve gradient integrity or minimize shear stress on fragile biological material. Noise output at ≤60±2 dB(A) keeps the unit from disrupting open laboratory environments during extended centrifuge sessions. CE and FCC certifications confirm compliance with international safety and electromagnetic compatibility standards.

Applications

• DNA, RNA, and protein preparation from biologically hazardous clinical or research samples
• Ultrafiltration of micro-volume samples through membrane spin columns
• Cell culture work requiring biocontainment of infectious agents during pelleting steps
• Rapid micro-sample consolidation in molecular biology and diagnostic laboratory protocols
