Ohaus FC5720R Frontier™ 5000 Refrigerated High-Speed Benchtop Centrifuge

The Ohaus FC5720R Frontier™ 5000 Multi Pro Series is a high-speed refrigerated benchtop centrifuge engineered for diverse laboratory applications including biomedical research, molecular diagnostics, and bioprocessing workflows. Its robust design supports variable temperature control from -20°C to 40°C, making it ideal for sensitive biological samples in clinical diagnostics and synthetic biology research.

Key technical specifications and features include:

• Versatile rotor compatibility: Supports 19 optional rotors and 121 accessories for tubes ranging from 0.2 mL microliter tubes to large 4 x 100 mL capacity, including PCR strips and microliter plates, essential for gene editing and molecular cloning protocols.
• Automated rotor identification ensures rapid, error-free setup to improve workflow efficiency in biomanufacturing and cell imaging experiments.
• Dual Unbalance Sensor system with computerized detection and customized parameters per rotor enhances safety by detecting vibrational imbalances, critical in maintaining sample integrity in biotechnology applications.
• User interface: Equipped with an easy-to-read, backlit two-line LCD for clear real-time display of speed (rpm and RCF), run time (from 10 seconds up to 99h 59min), and sample temperature monitoring. The ergonomic adjustment knob allows precise parameter setting for complex centrifugation protocols.
• Refrigeration system: CFC-free cooling technology supporting temperature-sensitive processes such as protein separation and nucleic acid isolation.
• Safety features: Include motorized lid locking, automated overspeed protection, and double unbalance detection to ensure operational reliability in research, clinical, and industrial environments.

Applications for this centrifuge span from cell pelletizing, blood sample processing, and environmental sample preparation, to complex protein and chemical separation, making it a critical instrument for researchers specializing in biotechnology, clinical diagnostics, and environmental science.

The corrosion-resistant stainless steel chamber combined with a polycarbonate/ABS plastic cover offers long-term durability and chemical resistance.

The FC5720R model is widely adopted in laboratories focused on molecular diagnostics and synthetic biology and is designed to support essential centrifugation needs in biopharmaceutical production pipelines and live-cell imaging workflows.
