OHAUS FC5515R V1 Frontier 5000 Micro Centrifuge, 44 x 1.5/2.0 ml or 12 x 5 ml, Refrigerated

OHAUS FC5515R V1 Centrifuge — Refrigerated 44-Place Micro Centrifuge with Rapid Pre-Cooling

Protecting large batches of temperature-sensitive samples during high-speed runs requires serious refrigeration. The OHAUS FC5515R V1 Centrifuge delivers active cooling from −20 °C to 40 °C and can bring the chamber from ambient temperature down to 4 °C in under 10 minutes — ensuring samples are held at the correct temperature before the first drop is loaded.

Key Features

• Rapid Pre-Cool Capability: Chamber reaches 4 °C from room temperature in fewer than 10 minutes, protecting thermolabile biomolecules before sample loading begins.
• 44-Place Rotor Capacity: Processes up to 44 × 1.5/2.0 ml microtubes or 12 × 5 ml tubes in a single refrigerated run.
• 21,953 × g Peak RCF: High relative centrifugal force at 15,200 rpm ensures complete pelleting of nucleic acids, proteins, and cellular debris.
• Motor-Driven Lid Lock: Automated closure mechanism improves both safety and consistency across repetitive run cycles.
• Wide Refrigeration Range: −20 °C to 40 °C temperature control accommodates an extensive range of biological and biochemical sample requirements.
• 10-Step Ramp Control: Independent acceleration and deceleration settings protect delicate density gradients and soft pellets.
• PCR Strip and BIOSEALS Rotor Compatibility: Handles PCR strips alongside biocontainment and sealable rotors for workflow flexibility.

Detailed Overview

The FC5515R V1 is the refrigerated counterpart to the FC5515, combining the larger 44-place rotor platform with integrated active cooling. The brushless motor holds noise at or below 57 dB(A) — quieter than many competing refrigerated units at comparable speeds. The motor-driven lid lock provides an ergonomic advantage over manual latches during long series of repetitive runs. Users can store up to 99 custom run programs, meaning validated cold-spin protocols are always one button press away. Refrigeration is continuous throughout the run, preventing heat buildup that could compromise enzyme stability or nucleic acid integrity. At 35 kg, it is heavier than the ambient-temperature variant, but its footprint remains within standard bench-space parameters.

Applications

• Cold-temperature RNA isolation and stabilization
• Enzyme-sensitive protein pelleting
• Chilled ultrafiltration of serum or plasma
• Refrigerated PCR strip preparation
• Biocontainment spinning of hazardous biological material
