Ohaus Frontier 2000 Series Multi FC2706 Bundles:

1. FC2706+R07: The FC2706+R07 bundle offers an immediate, high-capacity solution for routine liquid separations. This package combines the FC2706 power unit with a 12 x 15 mL angle rotor, allowing for efficient processing of standard laboratory tubes. With the R07 rotor installed, the system reaches speeds of up to 5,000 rpm, providing a maximum RCF of 3,080 x g to support rapid sample throughput in clinical and research settings.

2. FC2706+R11: For specialized extraction and volume-heavy applications, the FC2706+R11 bundle is the optimal choice. This configuration includes the FC2706 unit paired with a 6 x 100 mL angle rotor designed for larger sample volumes. This bundle allows researchers to process up to 600 mL per run at 5,000 rpm, delivering a relative centrifugal force of 3,130 x g, which is particularly effective for wastewater analysis and large-scale biological extractions.

Recommendation:

• Choose the FC2706+R07 bundle if you primarily work with standard 15 mL tubes and need higher throughput (12 tubes per run).
• Choose the FC2706+R11 bundle if your applications (like wastewater or food extraction) require processing larger volumes up to 100 mL per tube.

Please Note: The Frontier FC2706 base unit is sold without a rotor. This allows you to choose the specific rotor below that best matches your lab's requirements.

Why Choose a Pre-Configured Bundle?

Investing in a complete package for your Frontier 2000 Series centrifuge is the most efficient way to get your laboratory up and running.

• Guaranteed Compatibility: Every bundle includes the centrifuge unit and the compatible rotor as a tested, factory-matched set.
• Streamlined Ordering: Purchasing a bundle ensures all necessary components are delivered together, preventing delays caused by missing parts or mismatched accessories.
• Optimized Performance: Pre-configured bundles are professionally balanced to meet the specific speed and safety requirements of your chosen rotor.
• Cost-Efficiency: Bundles are often priced to provide better value compared to purchasing the centrifuge unit and the rotor as individual items.

Quick Compatibility Checklist

Before adding your selection to the cart, please verify your requirements against this checklist:

• Tube Volume: Does your sample volume (e.g., 1.5ml, 15ml, 50ml, 100ml) match the capacity of the rotor you have selected?
• Tube Type: Are you using standard round bottom tubes, conical tubes, or PCR strips?
• Rotor Type: Do you require a Swing-Out Rotor for vertical sediment lines or an Angle Rotor for faster, high-speed pelleting?
• Diameter/Height: Ensure the diameter and height of your tubes fall within the permitted specifications of your chosen rotor to prevent damage during high-speed rotation.

Rotor Accessories for Ohaus Frontier 2000 Series Multi FC2706 Centrifuge:

Enhance your laboratory’s processing capabilities with the Ohaus Frontier 2000 Series FC2706 Multi Centrifuge Accessories, a comprehensive suite of rotors built for high-demand, mid-volume applications. While many centrifuges are restricted by fixed configurations, these accessories transform the FC2706 into a multi-functional powerhouse capable of shifting between high-speed clinical sedimentations and large-scale industrial liquid separations. Each rotor is precision-engineered to meet the rigorous standards of modern hospitals, pharmacies, and food production facilities, ensuring that your investment provides maximum utility across every facet of your organization’s research and production lines.

1. R-A6x15/17M Angle Rotor: Offering a streamlined 6-place capacity for 15 ml tubes, this rotor is the perfect choice for smaller clinical wards or specialized research stations requiring higher speeds than the 12-place version. Reaching a maximum relative centrifugal force of 3,660 x g, it allows for more rapid pelleting of dense samples. Its compact aluminium alloy design facilitates quick acceleration and deceleration, saving valuable time during time-sensitive pharmacy formulation or urgent medical tests.

2. R-A6x50/30M (R07) Angle Rotor: Specifically designed to accommodate six 50 ml tubes, this configuration fills the critical gap between micro-sampling and bulk processing. It is widely used in industrial settings for chemical analysis and in agricultural labs for soil or grain testing. The 30° fixed angle is optimized to handle the weight of 50 ml samples while reaching speeds of 5,000 rpm, providing the stability Ohaus is known for across integrated industries.

3. R-A6x100/42M Angle Rotor: When your workflow demands the processing of bulk liquids, this rotor provides a massive capacity for six 100 ml bottles. This accessory is particularly useful in factory and food production settings for testing large-volume concentrates or environmental samples. Despite the larger volume, it maintains high-performance standards with a maximum relative centrifugal force of 3,130 x g, ensuring efficient separation for industrial-scale tasks.

4. R-A12x15/17M (R11) Angle Rotor: This high-throughput workhorse is the standard for the FC2706 series, designed to hold twelve 15 ml tubes. It is essential for high-demand environments like hospital pathology labs and pharmacy research where large batches of clinical samples must be processed simultaneously at speeds up to 5,000 rpm. Its balanced construction ensures consistent sedimentation, making it the primary choice for routine blood and reagent separation.

5. R-S6x10/17M Swing-Out Rotor: For applications requiring perfectly level separation layers, this 6-place swing-out rotor is the ideal solution for 10 ml tubes. By swinging to a 90° horizontal position during flight, it ensures that the material pellets directly at the centre of the tube bottom rather than against the side wall. This is critical for delicate density gradient work in medical diagnostics and specialized food purity testing where clear layer extraction is paramount.

Please Note: If purchasing an "Accessory Rotor" separately, please ensure your centrifuge unit is compatible with the rotor type. All rotors listed on this page are designed specifically for the Ohaus Frontier 2000 Series Multi FC2706 Centrifuge. Please refer to the individual rotor specifications for required tube diameter and capacity.
