Eppendorf 5418R Refrigerated Benchtop Centrifuge with Digital Temperature Control

The Eppendorf 5418R Refrigerated Centrifuge is a high-performance benchtop centrifuge designed for precise, temperature-controlled sample processing in biotechnology, molecular biology, and clinical diagnostics laboratories. This model supports high-speed centrifugation, achieving a maximum of 14,000 rpm and 20,800 x g, essential for applications including molecular cloning workflows, bioprocessing, and gene editing protocols.

Key technical features include:

• Refrigerated chamber with environmentally friendly R134a refrigerant (charge 0.089 kg, low GWP 1430) to maintain sample integrity during processing.
• Digital temperature control ensuring stable conditions for sensitive biochemical and cellular samples.
• Compatible with fixed-angle rotors like the FA-45-6-11, critical in workflows requiring rapid pelleting of biomolecules and cells.
• Electrical specifications: 120 V, 50–60 Hz, power consumption of 320 W, and current of 2.8 A.
• Compact footprint (15.7 x 11.8 x 10.6 inches), weighing approximately 44 lbs, ideal for benchtop use in space-constrained labs.

This centrifuge is a reliable choice for synthetic biology research, molecular diagnostics, and biomanufacturing environments, offering precise control and reproducibility necessary for downstream analysis and biopharmaceutical production pipelines. Its combination of refrigeration and high centrifugal force makes it widely used among molecular biology researchers for sample preparation steps like DNA/RNA isolation and protein purification.
