Ohaus Frontier 5000 Series Multi Centrifuge
Up to 6,800 RPM • Compact Benchtop • Up to 4,445 × g • Multiple Rotor Options
Quiet, Flexible Low-Speed Centrifuges for General Lab, Clinical, and Diagnostic Applications
Ohaus Frontier 5706P and 5707 Multi Centrifuges are compact, low-speed benchtop centrifuges designed for versatility in clinical, research, and diagnostic environments. With speed ranges up to 6,800 rpm and maximum relative centrifugal force (RCF) up to 4,445 × g, these models accommodate a broad spectrum of sample types through a wide range of interchangeable rotors and adapters.
Engineered for user convenience, both models feature a modern touch-wheel interface, 99-program memory, and 10 acceleration/deceleration profiles. Whether processing blood tubes, urine samples, microtubes, or conical tubes, the 5706P and 5707 provide a reliable, intuitive platform in an energy-efficient, space-saving design.
Key Features
- Wide Speed Range: 200–6,800 rpm (model dependent), ideal for most low-speed lab separations.
- Rotor Variety: Supports fixed angle and swing-out rotors for 1.5 ml to 50 ml tubes, including blood and microtubes.
- Compact & Quiet: Noise levels as low as ≤ 56 dB(A); minimal bench footprint.
- User Interface: Backlit dual-line LCD, touch-wheel, RPM/RCF toggle, and in-run adjustments.
- Program Storage: Save and recall up to 99 user-defined run profiles for routine processes.
- Safety Built-In: Rotor imbalance detection, emergency lid release, audible end alerts, and secure lid-locking system.
