Ohaus Frontier 5000 Series Mini FC5306 Centrifuge

Ohaus Frontier 5000 Series Mini FC5306 Centrifuge 

The Ohaus Frontier Mini FC5306 centrifuge is a powerful and convenient mini centrifuge designed for simple and rapid liquid separation in life science applications. This compact unit reaches a fixed speed of 6,000 rpm with a centrifugal force of 2,000 g, making it an ideal choice for everyday quick spin-down tasks in the laboratory. Its design prioritizes quiet operation, utilizing a low-voltage power input and a vibration-absorbing rubber base to minimize noise and reduce disruptions in busy workspaces.

Versatility is a core feature of the FC5306, which comes standard with an 8-position 1.5/2 mL tube rotor and a 4-position 8-strip PCR tube rotor that can accommodate up to 32 individual PCR tubes. The centrifuge also features a tool-free, quick-release design, allowing rotors to be swapped in seconds to accommodate different sample types. With advanced safety features like an imbalance sensor and dual safety switches, the FC5306 ensures consistent, secure performance for all your micro-separation needs.

Features of Ohaus Frontier Mini FC5306 Centrifuge:

• 1 Year Warranty: This professional instrument includes a standard manufacturer's warranty, providing long-term reliability for your essential lab separations.
• One-Step Operation: Simply close the lid to begin rotation; no button presses are required to start the separation process.
• Quick-Release Rotors: Features a unique design that allows for the removal and installation of rotors without the use of specialized tools.
• Quiet Brushless Motor: Designed for low-noise operation, ensuring a peaceful laboratory environment during use.
• Imbalance Sensor: Automatically stops the centrifuge if rotors become imbalanced, protecting the user from injury.
• Dual Safety Switches: Immediately stops the motor if the lid is opened while the rotors are in rotation.
• High-Capacity PCR Support: Includes a dedicated rotor that can accommodate four 8-strip PCR tubes or 32 individual 0.2 mL tubes.
• Vibration-Absorbing Base: A specialized rubber base reduces mechanical noise and prevents the unit from "walking" on the benchtop.
• Versatile Adapters: Comes with 0.2 mL and 0.5 mL adapters to support a wide range of microtube sizes.
• Compact Footprint: Measuring just 150 x 168 mm, this unit saves valuable bench space while delivering powerful performance.

Applications for Ohaus Frontier Mini FC5306 Centrifuge:

• Routine Spin-Downs: Perfect for gathering reagents at the bottom of microtubes before or after thermal cycling.
• PCR Sample Preparation: Efficiently processing 0.2 mL strip tubes and individual PCR tubes for genetic research.
• Life Science Separations: Providing rapid liquid separation for biological samples, proteins, and nucleic acids.
• Micro-Filtration: Ideal for small-scale filtration protocols that require a consistent 2,000 g force.
• Reagent Mixing Recovery: Quickly retrieving sample volume from tube walls and lids after vortexing or transport.
• Clinical Sample Preparation: Handling small-volume blood or urine samples in diagnostic and research settings.

Accessories for the Ohaus Frontier Mini FC5306 Centrifuge:

Enhance your small-scale sample preparation with Ohaus Frontier 5000 Series Mini FC5306 Centrifuge Accessories, designed to bridge the gap between heavy-duty laboratory requirements and compact benchtop convenience. These high-quality rotors and adapters are engineered to integrate seamlessly across diverse industries—from medical hospitals and pharmacy cleanrooms to high-throughput food production and factory processing lines. By utilizing these specialized accessories, you can maximize the versatility of your FC5306 unit, allowing for rapid, reliable separation of micro-samples without the need for multiple dedicated machines.

R-A4XPCR/6 Angle Rotor: Is the ultimate solution for molecular biology and pharmacy applications requiring the processing of PCR strips. This durable polypropylene rotor accommodates four 0.2 ml PCR8 tubes, reaching a maximum speed of 6,000 rpm and a centrifugal force of 2,260 x g. Designed with a 45° angle to optimize pelleting, it features a rapid 2-second acceleration and deceleration time, making it ideal for the quick "spin-downs" necessary in hospital diagnostics and genetic research where time-sensitive sample integrity is paramount. Compatible with PCR Strips

R-A8X2/6M Angle Rotor: For routine laboratory and industrial workflows, the R-A8X2/6M Angle Rotor provides expanded capacity for standard micro-tubes. This high-performance rotor holds up to eight 1.5 ml or 2.0 ml tubes, delivering a maximum relative centrifugal force of 2,560 x g. Its robust construction is built to withstand demanding factory and food production environments, ensuring consistent separation of liquid samples. The easy-installation design allows operators to switch between high-capacity runs and specialized PCR tasks with minimal downtime, boosting overall lab efficiency. Compatible with FA (Conical/Falcon) & RB (Round Bottom)

Tube Adapters for 0.2 ml x 6 mm tubes: Offer a cost-effective way to adapt your existing equipment for ultra-micro volumes without purchasing a new rotor. Supplied in a convenient 8-pack, these precision-engineered inserts fit perfectly into the standard 1.5/2.0 ml rotor holes to securely hold 0.2 ml tubes with a 6mm diameter. These are particularly valuable in pharmaceutical formulation and clinical settings, where they provide the snug support required to prevent tube deformation under high G-forces during the isolation of sensitive reagents or DNA samples.

Tube Adapters for 0.5ml x 8 mm tubes: To further increase your equipment's flexibility, the 0.5 ml Tube Adapters allow for the secure processing of mid-sized micro-tubes with an 8mm diameter. Also available in an 8-pack, these adapters facilitate the cross-industry integration of your centrifuge, making it suitable for everything from food safety testing of liquid extracts to specialized hospital pathology tests. By providing a stable, vibration-free environment for 0.5 ml tubes, these adapters ensure that your FC5306 remains a versatile workhorse capable of handling various tube sizes across all your integrated side-industries.
