OHAUS FC5706 Frontier 5000 Multi Centrifuge, 6 x 50mL Capacity, Low-Speed General Purpose

OHAUS FC5706 Frontier 5000 Multi Centrifuge — Compact Low-Speed Performance up to 6000 RPM

Processing blood tubes, urine samples, or small conical tubes in a compact footprint is the core purpose of the OHAUS FC5706 Frontier 5000 Multi Centrifuge. Reaching 6,000 RPM and 4,427 × g with a 6 × 50 mL rotor, it brings reliable low-speed general-purpose centrifugation to clinical, educational, and research settings where bench space is at a premium.

Key Features

• 6,000 RPM Maximum Speed: Sufficient for a wide range of clinical and preparative applications including serum separation and cell pelleting at low to moderate forces.
• 4,427 × g Maximum RCF: Delivers the centrifugal force required for blood tube processing and standard urine sedimentation without a high-speed centrifuge footprint.
• Flexible 6 × 50 mL Rotor Capacity: Accommodates both round and conical bottom tubes, including standard blood collection tubes, with available adapters expanding tube format options.
• Motor-Driven Lid Lock: Automatically secures the lid during operation, preventing accidental opening and protecting operators from spinning rotors.
• 10-Level Acceleration and Deceleration: Programmable ramp rates protect delicate or gradient-sensitive samples from disruption during spin-up and spin-down.
• Quiet Operation at ≤60 dB(A): Low noise output makes the FC5706 suitable for open-plan labs and clinical consultation areas where noise sensitivity matters.
• Flexible Timer: Runs continuously or for set periods from 10 seconds up to 99 hours 59 minutes — covering quick spot-spins and long-duration separations alike.

Detailed Overview

The FC5706 is engineered for reliable everyday centrifugation rather than ultra-high-speed specialized work. Manual rotor recognition keeps operation straightforward, and multiple rotor configurations — including a swing-out 6 × 5 mL rotor and an angle 12 × 15 mL rotor in addition to the angle 6 × 50 mL — give users versatility without requiring multiple instruments. Power consumption of just 100 W is efficient relative to the processing capacity. CE and FCC safety certifications confirm compliance with applicable electrical and safety standards. The compact dimensions make bench-top installation feasible even in crowded clinical or teaching laboratories.

Applications

• Clinical serum and plasma separation from blood collection tubes
• Urine sedimentation for urinalysis in clinical or teaching labs
• Cell pelleting and density gradient separation in life science research
• General preparative centrifugation in educational biology and chemistry courses
• Small-volume sample clarification in pharmaceutical and biotechnology workflows
