Eppendorf 5418 Microcentrifuge with Fixed-Angle Rotor, 14,000 RPM, 18-tube Capacity

The Eppendorf 5418 Microcentrifuge is a precision benchtop centrifuge designed for routine molecular biology and biotechnology workflows, including molecular cloning and synthetic biology applications. Featuring a fixed-angle FA-45-18-11 rotor, it accommodates 18 micro test tubes from 0.2 to 2.0 ml with maximum tube diameter of 11 mm, optimized for 1.5/2.0 ml tubes common in molecular diagnostics and bioprocessing labs.

Key specifications include:

• Speed range: 100 to 14,000 RPM with a maximum relative centrifugal force (RCF) of 16,873 × g, suitable for plasmid purification, nucleic acid isolation, and protein separation.
• Quick acceleration and deceleration times of just over 15 seconds enable efficient sample processing critical in high-throughput biomanufacturing and clinical diagnostics.
• Compact footprint (9 x 12 x 8 inches) and low noise operation ensure minimal bench disturbance in shared laboratory environments.
• User-friendly front-panel controls allow switching between RPM and RCF readouts, enhancing operational accuracy in fluorescence analysis and live-cell centrifugation protocols.
• Operates within the temperature range of 2°C to 40°C, ensuring reliable performance in variable lab conditions encountered in biomedical engineering and cell imaging facilities.
• The aerosol-tight rotor lid enhances biohazard containment, essential in molecular biology and synthetic biology research to maintain sample integrity and lab safety.

Power requirements are 120V, 2.8A, 50/60Hz, with 170W consumption. Weighing 19 lbs, it is portable yet robust enough for demanding biotechnology research and clinical sample preparation.

This Eppendorf microcentrifuge is widely adopted in synthetic biology research, molecular diagnostics, and biopharmaceutical production pipelines, making it an essential instrument for biotechnology laboratories focused on gene editing and bioprocessing.

Included accessories:

• FA-45-18-18 fixed-angle rotor with aluminum aerosol-tight lid
• User manual and 120V power cord
• 30-day limited warranty ensuring quality and reliability
