OHAUS FC5706P+R78 Frontier 5000 Multi Centrifuge, 6 x 50 ml Capacity, Rotor R78, LCD Display
OHAUS FC5706P+R78 Centrifuge — 6×50 ml Multi Centrifuge with Angle Rotor R78 Pre-Installed
For labs that primarily process large conical tubes, the OHAUS FC5706P+R78 Centrifuge ships with the R78 angle rotor for 6 × 50 ml round-bottom and fixed-angle tubes already installed. This configuration eliminates the rotor selection step for 50 ml workflows and lets operators start spinning immediately after unpacking.
Key Features
- R78 Angle Rotor Included: Pre-configured 6 × 50 ml RB/FA angle rotor means the instrument is ready for conical and round-bottom 50 ml tube processing right out of the box.
- 6,000 rpm and 4,427 × g: Consistent centrifugal force suited to plasma preparation, cell pelleting, and general low-speed separations.
- Wide Tube Compatibility via Swap: The platform also accepts rotors for 5 ml, 15 ml, and 1.5/2.0 ml tubes, supporting multi-discipline labs.
- 10-Step Programmable Ramps: Adjustable acceleration and deceleration protect soft pellets and prevent tube resuspension.
- 99 Stored Run Programs: Lock in validated protocols so every operator runs the same method, reducing inter-run variability.
- LCD Display with Backlight: Dual-line readout keeps speed, RCF, and timer simultaneously visible during a run.
- Energy-Efficient Operation: 70 W power draw keeps running costs low in labs operating the unit throughout the working day.
Detailed Overview
While the FC5706P+R77 and FC5706P+R97 ship with rotors optimised for 15 ml and 10 ml tubes respectively, the R78 configuration specifically targets workflows built around 50 ml conical tubes — common in cell culture scale-ups, buffer preparation, and larger-volume blood processing. The backlighted LCD and intuitive button layout minimise operator training time. Mechanical lid-locking provides a physical safety barrier throughout each run. The Quickspin function offers timed, manual-stop pulses for quick sample collection without requiring a full programmed run. Noise is held at or below 56 dB(A), keeping the lab environment manageable even with multiple centrifuges running in parallel.
Applications
- Cell culture pelleting in 50 ml conical tubes
- Large-volume plasma and serum preparation
- Buffer clarification and particle removal
- General clinical and research low-speed centrifugation
Why Choose the OHAUS FC5706P+R78?
If 50 ml conical tube processing is the backbone of your daily workflow, choosing an instrument that ships with the right rotor already fitted saves time from day one. Add to cart to have the FC5706P+R78 ready for your lab bench.
