Eppendorf Centrifuge 5430 Compact High-Speed Microcentrifuge with Rotor Flexibility

The Eppendorf Centrifuge 5430 is a versatile compact microcentrifuge engineered for high-speed centrifugation applications in biotechnology, molecular diagnostics, and clinical research. Its rotor flexibility accommodates up to 12 interchangeable rotors, including fixed-angle and swing-bucket types, enabling processing of sample formats such as 48 x 1.5/2.0 mL tubes, 6 x 50 mL conical tubes, or 2 microplates.

Key performance and technical specifications include:

• Maximum speed: 17,500 rpm adjustable in 100 rpm increments
• Maximum relative centrifugal force (RCF): up to 30,130 x g with fixed-angle rotors and 16,049 x g with swing-bucket rotors
• Capacity: total 300 mL accommodating microcentrifuge tubes, conicals, and microplates essential for bioprocessing workflows
• Acceleration/deceleration: 14 and 15 seconds respectively, with a soft brake feature for controlled deceleration
• Programmable timer: runs from 30 seconds to 99 hours 59 minutes plus continuous operation, crucial for extended centrifugation protocols
• User interface: menu-driven control panel with backlit display, rpm and RCF direct input, 50 program storage slots, and rotor recognition for ease of use and reproducibility
• Noise level: under 58 dB(A) supports quieter lab environments
• Compact footprint: 13 x 16 x 10 inches and weighing 45 lbs, suitable for constrained laboratory space without sacrificing functionality
• Power: operates on standard 120V, 50-60Hz supply supporting flexible lab setups

Designed for applications requiring high-speed centrifugation with flexible rotor options, this centrifuge is widely adopted in molecular biology research, synthetic biology, and cellular analysis domains. Its compatibility with multiple rotor types and sample vessels makes it an essential instrument for gene editing workflows, protein purification, and other biotechnological processes that demand reliable high-performance centrifugation.
