Eppendorf 5420 Benchtop Microcentrifuge with FA-24×2 Rotor
Product Description
The Eppendorf 5420 is a compact benchtop microcentrifuge designed specifically for routine molecular biology workflows, including molecular cloning, PCR preparation, and nucleic acid purification. Equipped with the FA-24×2 fixed-angle rotor, it accommodates up to 24 tubes sized 1.5/2.0 mL, delivering a maximum speed of 15,060 rpm and a centrifugal force of up to 21,300 × g.
Key technical features include:
- High-speed centrifugation essential for rapid pellet formation and phase separations in DNA and RNA extraction protocols.
- Precise timed runs from 10 seconds to 99:59 hours, plus a continuous operation mode for extended bioprocessing steps.
- Operator-friendly controls with one-finger lid closure, automated lid opening, and a dedicated short-spin key enable efficient workflow integration.
- Fast acceleration and deceleration times of 15 seconds each, complemented by 10 selectable soft-brake ramp settings, allow fine control over sample handling, minimizing disturbances to delicate biomolecules.
- Compact footprint of 10 x 14 x 9 inches and a weight of 45 lbs, ideal for space-limited laboratory environments commonly found in clinical diagnostics and synthetic biology labs.
- Low noise operation under 56 dB(A) enhances the comfort of prolonged laboratory use.
This microcentrifuge is widely adopted in biotechnology and molecular diagnostics research, supporting critical applications such as gene editing sample preparation, RNA isolation, and biopharmaceutical manufacturing workflows. Its compact design and robust performance make it a reliable instrument essential for bioprocessing and molecular cloning workflows requiring consistent, efficient centrifugation.
The Eppendorf 5420 is powered at 120V 50/60Hz with a maximum power consumption of 270 W, ensuring compatibility with standard laboratory electrical systems. This unit supports numerous biomedical engineering applications including live-cell imaging sample prep and fluorescence analysis, where precise centrifugation parameters critically impact downstream assay reliability.
