Eppendorf 5424 Benchtop Microcentrifuge with 24-Place Fixed-Angle Rotor

The Eppendorf 5424 Microcentrifuge is a high-performance benchtop microcentrifuge designed for routine molecular biology and biotechnology workflows. Featuring a 24-place fixed-angle rotor, it accommodates standard 1.5/2.0 mL microtubes with a maximum speed of 15,000 rpm and relative centrifugal force (RCF) up to 21,130 x g, essential for high-speed microcentrifugation applications including molecular cloning, nucleic acid purification, and bioprocessing sample preparation.

Key technical specifications include:

• Timer range from 10 seconds to 9 hours 59 minutes with a HOLD function to support extended centrifugation protocols frequently used in synthetic biology and molecular diagnostics.
• An aerosol-tight lid ensuring biosafety and contamination prevention during clinical diagnostics and biomanufacturing sample handling.
• Noise-reduction through the proprietary Opti-Bowl design, yielding operational noise levels below 48 dBA, optimal for laboratory environments requiring low-vibration equipment.
• User-friendly digital control panel with dial input offering intuitive operation, fast parameter setting, and a dedicated short-spin function for rapid microtube pelleting.
• Latch-less lid mechanism that automatically opens at the end of runs and closes with minimal effort, minimizing sample handling risks, critical in sensitive live-cell imaging and fluorescence analysis workflows.
• Compact dimensions (13 x 10 x 10 inches) and a small footprint favor placement in crowded laboratory benches engaged in biotechnology research and clinical testing.

This microcentrifuge is widely adopted in genomics, proteomics, and clinical research laboratories requiring reproducible, high-speed centrifugation of small volume samples. Its reliable performance supports a variety of bioscience applications from gene editing sample preparation to biopharmaceutical production pipeline centrifugation steps.

The Eppendorf 5424’s precision, advanced rotor design, and safety features make it a critical instrument for researchers engaged in molecular biology, synthetic biology, and biotechnology process development.
