Ohaus Frontier FC5306 Mini Benchtop Centrifuge with 8-Position Fixed Angle Rotor

The Ohaus Frontier FC5306 is a compact mini benchtop centrifuge designed for rapid spin-downs, basic separations, and small-volume sample processing in molecular biology and biotechnology laboratories. Its fixed-speed motor operates at a maximum of 6,000 rpm, delivering up to 2,000 x g relative centrifugal force, ideal for routine separations of microcentrifuge tubes.

Key features include:

• 8-position fixed-angle rotor accommodating standard 1.5 mL and 2.0 mL microcentrifuge tubes.
• Compatibility with PCR strip rotor accessories, enhancing utility in molecular diagnostics, PCR sample preparation, and gene editing workflows.
• Brushless motor technology ensures quiet operation suitable for repetitive day-to-day bench applications.
• Equipped with an imbalance detection sensor that shuts down operation to protect samples and equipment during uneven loading or disturbance.
• Compact footprint (6" x 7" x 6") and light weight (3 lbs) conserve valuable bench space in busy biotech and biomedical research environments.
• Simple one-step operation: close lid to start spin, open to stop; supports quick sample processing without complex settings.
• Powered by standard 120V electrical supply for convenient laboratory integration.

This mini centrifuge is essential for bioprocessing laboratories, synthetic biology research, and clinical diagnostics, providing reliable centrifugation for small-volume tubes involved in molecular cloning workflows, fluorescence analysis, and biopharmaceutical production pipelines. Its simplicity and versatility make it widely adopted in biotechnology research environments where quick, effective pelleting or phase separation is required.
