6,000 RPM • 2,000 × g • Compact & Quiet • For Microtubes & PCR Strips
Simple, Safe, and Fast Micro Separations in a Compact Footprint
The Ohaus Frontier 5306 Mini Centrifuge is a powerful, space-saving solution designed for quick spin-downs and everyday separation tasks in life science, clinical, and diagnostic labs. With a top speed of 6,000 rpm and centrifugal force up to 2,000 × g, it efficiently handles 1.5/2.0 ml tubes, 0.2 ml PCR strips, and other micro-volume formats.
Equipped with both an 8-position angle rotor and a 4-position PCR strip rotor, along with adapters for 0.2 ml and 0.5 ml tubes, the Frontier 5306 supports a variety of workflows. Its tool-free rotor exchange, quiet motor, and automatic spin-on-lid-close feature simplify operations while maintaining lab safety and convenience.
