OHAUS FC5706P Frontier 5000 Multi Centrifuge, 6 x 50 mL Capacity, General Purpose Lab Centrifuge

OHAUS FC5706P Frontier 5000 Multi Centrifuge — Versatile Low-Speed Processing for 50 mL Tubes

Processing blood tubes, urine samples, and conical tubes in volume demands a centrifuge that can handle different tube formats without constant rotor swapping. The OHAUS FC5706P Frontier 5000 Multi Centrifuge accommodates 6 × 50 mL tubes in its standard rotor and accepts five rotor configurations spanning 1.5 mL microtubes to 50 mL conical tubes — all at speeds up to 6,000 rpm.

Key Features

• 6 × 50 mL Standard Capacity: The primary angle rotor handles common conical-bottom and round-bottom 50 mL tubes, covering typical clinical and research processing volumes.
• Multi-Rotor Flexibility: Swappable rotors include a 12 × 15 mL angle, swing-out 6 × 5 mL, swing-out 4 × 10 mL, and an 18 × 1.5/2.0 mL angle, making one instrument serve multiple protocol types.
• 6,000 rpm / 4,427 × g Maximum: Sufficient centrifugal force for blood and urine separation, cell harvesting, and general sample clarification without the complexity of high-speed instruments.
• 10-Step Acceleration and Deceleration: Programmable ramp rates allow gentle handling of fragile cellular samples or plasma layers that must remain undisturbed.
• 99 Stored Programs: Clinicians and researchers can save named protocols for one-touch recall, reducing run-to-run variability in multi-user environments.
• Quiet Operation at ≤56 dB(A): Low noise output suits shared clinical spaces, reception-adjacent labs, and open-plan research areas.
• Compact Footprint: Despite handling large-volume tubes, the FC5706P occupies a modest bench area, leaving room for other instruments in crowded workspaces.

Detailed Overview

The OHAUS FC5706P Centrifuge is engineered as a general-purpose workhorse for clinical laboratories, point-of-care settings, and low-speed research applications. Its swing-out rotor options are particularly valued in blood banking and urinalysis workflows, where pellets must settle cleanly at the tube bottom for accurate reading. The 70 W power consumption is notably efficient for the rotor capacity class, which helps manage utility costs in high-throughput clinical environments. Quickspin functionality provides a rapid collection spin for reagents or brief sample clarification without setting a full timed program. CE and FCC certifications support deployment across North American and international markets. The mechanical lid lock gives a tactile confirmation of safe closure, and the multi-safety control system continuously checks for rotor imbalance and over-speed conditions throughout every run.

Applications

• Blood tube processing in clinical diagnostics
• Urine sample clarification for urinalysis
• Cell harvesting from culture suspensions
• General sample clarification in research workflows
