OHAUS FC5707+R05 Frontier 5000 Multi Centrifuge, 8 x 15 ml Capacity, General Purpose, LCD Display

OHAUS FC5707+R05 Centrifuge — Lightweight 8×15 ml Multi Centrifuge for General-Purpose Lab Use

At just 10 kg, the OHAUS FC5707+R05 Centrifuge is the lightest instrument in the Frontier 5000 Multi family — making it an excellent choice for shared benches, teaching labs, and any setting where portability or space is a constraint. It reaches 6,800 rpm and 4,445 × g with an 8 × 15 ml angle rotor already installed.

Key Features

• 8 × 15 ml Angle Rotor Included: The R05 rotor handles round-bottom and fixed-angle 15 ml tubes — one of the most common tube sizes in general laboratory work.
• 6,800 rpm and 4,445 × g: Comparable maximum RCF to the larger FC5706P models in a significantly lighter chassis.
• Compact, 10 kg Footprint: The smallest and lightest Frontier 5000 Multi model is easy to reposition between workstations or store when not in use.
• 10-Stage Acceleration and Deceleration: Precise ramp control supports both rapid separations and gentle sample handling.
• 99 Program Memories: Store and recall validated protocols to maintain consistent results across multiple users.
• 50 W Low Power Draw: Economical energy use makes continuous daily operation cost-effective.
• Quickspin and Continuous Modes: Operational flexibility for everything from pulse spins to overnight extended runs.

Detailed Overview

The FC5707+R05 stands out within the Frontier 5000 Multi line by virtue of its minimal weight and footprint. Its brushless motor keeps noise at or below 60 dB(A), and the 50 W power consumption is the lowest in the family. While the maximum capacity per run is smaller than the 50 ml rotor variants, the 8 × 15 ml configuration covers the majority of everyday laboratory separations — including cell culture media removal, buffer exchanges, and bacterial pelleting. Mechanical lid-locking ensures the chamber stays sealed during a run, and the backlighted LCD provides clear status at a glance. The working environment rating covers labs with up to 80% relative humidity, and CE and FCC certifications confirm international compliance.

Applications

• Bacterial and yeast cell pelleting in 15 ml tubes
• Cell culture supernatant removal
• General buffer and media preparation
• Teaching laboratory centrifugation exercises
