Eppendorf 5804 R Centrifuge

The Eppendorf 5804 R is a high-speed refrigerated benchtop centrifuge perfect for medium-throughput molecular biology applications. It supports a diverse range of tube sizes from 0.2 mL to 250 mL and plates, offering versatility with a wide selection of rotors and adapters. This centrifuge delivers a cost-effective solution for medium-throughput tasks, with the capability to hold up to 4×250 mL and accommodate additional swing-bucket and fixed-angle rotors for enhanced flexibility.

Key features include a centrifugation speed of up to 20,913 × g (14,000 RPM), making it suitable for various molecular biology applications. The unit supports tubes and bottles ranging from 0.2 mL to 250 mL, with the ability to handle MTP, PCR, and deep-well plates. Swing-bucket and fixed-angle rotors offer enhanced functionality, while the plate rotor accommodates different types of MTP, PCR, cell culture, or deep-well plates. The centrifuge also includes features like a soft-touch lid closure, a low access height of 29 cm for easy sample loading, quiet operation for a better work environment, and a compact footprint that saves bench space.

For safety and operational efficiency, the centrifuge includes automatic rotor recognition and imbalance detection. It has temperature control capabilities ranging from -9°C to +40°C, with a "Fast Temp" function for quick pre-cooling and standby temperature control to maintain programmed settings. Energy efficiency is ensured through an ECO shut-off feature that activates after 8 hours of inactivity. Additional features include a built-in condensate drain, dynamic compressor control (DCC) technology for optimized cooling, and a user-friendly design with a low access height. Available rotors and adapters include the swing-bucket Rotor S-4-72, fixed-angle Rotor FA-45-6-30 with aerosol-tight Eppendorf QuickLock® lid, and the plate Rotor A-2-DWP for high-throughput tasks.
