Ohaus FC5513R 83041041 Refrigerated Centrifuge

High-Speed Refrigeration in a Compact Footprint: The Ohaus Frontier 5513R

The Ohaus Frontier 5513R (FC5513R) represents the benchmark for high-speed, refrigerated microcentrifugation, engineered to protect delicate molecular samples from thermal degradation. In clinical pathology labs, DNA/RNA research facilities, and university biochemistry departments across Belfast, Dublin, and Galway, maintaining a precise sample environment is vital.

Driven by a powerful, maintenance-free induction motor, the 230V FC5513R delivers exceptional g-force in a highly space-efficient benchtop design. Featuring a pre-cooling function and an advanced refrigeration system, it ensures your biological samples remain consistently chilled, even during sustained, maximum-speed runs.

Key Advantages for Irish Laboratory Workflows:

• Powerful High-Speed Centrifugation: Reaches rotational speeds up to 13,500 RPM with a maximum relative centrifugal force (RCF) of 17,317 × g, making it perfect for rapid nucleic acid pelleting and spin-column protocols.

• Precise Temperature Preservation: An advanced cooling system maintains temperatures down to -20°C. The intuitive pre-cooling function quickly lowers the rotor chamber temperature to set limits before a run begins.

• Intuitive Control Interface: Features an ergonomic control panel with a rotary adjustment knob and a dual-line backlit LCD, displaying real-time parameters such as speed (RPM), g-force (RCF), run time, and temperature.

• Flexible Rotor Compatibility: Supports a variety of high-performance sealed rotors, including standard 24-place 1.5/2.0 mL microtube rotors, spin-column kit rotors, and hematocrit capillary rotors.

• Robust Safety Features: Standardized with a motorized lid-locking system, dynamic rotor imbalance sensors, and a reinforced steel containment barrier to maximize operator and workspace protection.

• Optimized Benchtop Footprint: The ultra-compact, streamlined profile maximizes valuable workspace in busy research suites and containment hoods.
