Eppendorf 5702 R Refrigerated Benchtop Centrifuge with Swing-out Rotor

The Eppendorf 5702 R Refrigerated Centrifuge is a versatile benchtop centrifuge equipped with a swing-out rotor designed for a broad range of laboratory applications, including molecular biology, biotechnology, and clinical diagnostics. It operates at speeds from 100 to 4400 rpm in 100 rpm increments, delivering a maximum relative centrifugal force (RCF) of 3000 x g, essential for the efficient separation of biological samples such as cells, proteins, and nucleic acids.

Key technical features include:

• Temperature control range: −9 °C to 40 °C, enabling temperature-sensitive protocols commonly required in bioprocessing and molecular diagnostics
• Maximum capacity: 4 x 100 mL, accommodating various sample volumes for flexible throughput
• Acceleration and deceleration times: ≤20 seconds and ≤28 seconds respectively, minimizing sample processing time and heat generation
• Timer: Adjustable from 0 to 99 minutes or continuous operation to suit diverse experimental durations
• Dimensions: Compact footprint of 380 x 580 x 270 mm and weighing 35 kg, suitable for benchtop use in biotechnology and clinical research labs

The centrifuge ships with:

• One Eppendorf A-4-38 swing-out rotor compatible with a maximum speed of 4400 rpm
• Four 100 mL round buckets and caps (Eppendorf A-4-38), supporting secure sample containment
• Inserts for tube formats of 4 x 7 mL and 4 x 10 mL (Eppendorf model numbers 5702719005 and 5702735000), facilitating sample versatility in gene editing and synthetic biology workflows

This refrigerated centrifuge is widely adopted in biotechnology research for applications such as live-cell imaging preparation, biomanufacturing sample processing, and essential in molecular cloning workflows due to its reliable temperature regulation and rotor flexibility. Its performance characteristics make it a critical instrument for laboratories seeking precise centrifugal separation with controlled temperature conditions to preserve sample integrity.
