High-Speed, Space-Saving Micro Centrifuges for Fast, Safe Sample Processing
Ohaus Frontier 5513 and 5513R Micro Centrifuges are compact, high-speed benchtop centrifuges built for rapid micro-volume separations in research, clinical, and diagnostic laboratories. Supporting speeds up to 13,500 rpm and generating forces as high as 17,317 × g, these centrifuges are optimized for handling 0.2 to 2.0 ml microtubes, spin columns, PCR strips, and hematocrit capillaries.
The FC5513R model features refrigeration from -20 °C to +40 °C with pre-cooling and standstill cooling, while both models offer a splash-proof interface, intuitive touch-wheel control, and up to 99 programmable settings. Despite their power, these centrifuges maintain a compact footprint, preserving valuable bench space in busy labs.
