Ohaus Frontier 5816R Refrigerated Benchtop Centrifuge with Programmable Controls

The Ohaus FC5816R Frontier 5816R Multi Pro Centrifuge is a high-capacity refrigerated benchtop centrifuge engineered for demanding laboratory and biotechnological workflows, including molecular diagnostics and bioprocessing. It supports up to six 250 ml tubes with speed ranges from 200 to 16,000 RPM, achieving a maximum relative centrifugal force of 24,325 × g, essential for applications such as cell separation and nucleic acid purification.

Key technical features include:

• Advanced refrigerated control maintaining temperatures down to -20°C (-4°F), critical for thermolabile samples in clinical and research settings.
• Auto rotor recognition for preset safety and performance adaptation to various rotor types, improving reproducibility in synthetic biology and biopharmaceutical production pipelines.
• 99 programmable memory slots facilitating rapid protocol switching for diverse centrifugation tasks in molecular cloning workflows and clinical diagnostics.
• Motor-driven lid lock ensures operational safety during high-speed runs.
• Included rotors with 15 ml and 50 ml inserts enhance versatility for different sample volumes common in biotechnology research laboratories.

With a robust design weighing 77 kg (170 lbs) and power consumption of 850 W, this refrigerated centrifuge provides reliable performance for live-cell imaging preparation, fluorescence analysis sample processing, and broader applications in neuroscience and biomedical engineering. Its programmable acceleration and deceleration settings (10 levels each) allow precise control to minimize shear forces on sensitive biomolecules, making it a critical instrument widely adopted in synthetic biology research and biomanufacturing environments.
