Ohaus Frontier 5000 Series Multi FC5706P Centrifuge

The Ohaus Frontier 5000 Series Multi FC5706P Centrifuge is a compact and reliable benchtop powerhouse designed for general-purpose, low-throughput laboratory applications. Engineered to maximize efficiency in a small footprint, this multi-function centrifuge is an ideal solution for a wide variety of separation tasks, including the processing of common blood and urine tubes. Its user-friendly design and versatile standard rotor options allow it to seamlessly accommodate both round and conical bottom tubes ranging from 50 ml down to 1.5 ml volumes.

Designed with professional workflow in mind, the FC5706P features an intuitive interface with a modern touch-wheel for quick parameter adjustments. This splash-proof control panel ensures responsive operation even while wearing gloves, while the clear, backlit LCD display provides simultaneous viewing of both set and actual parameters. With advanced safety features like a microprocessor-controlled imbalance sensor and a sturdy mechanical lid lock, the unit provides a secure environment for critical research.

Features of Ohaus Frontier 5000 Series Multi FC5706P Centrifuge:

2 Year Warranty (Centrifuge Unit): This series is backed by a standard manufacturer’s warranty, ensuring long-term reliability and professional support for your essential laboratory processes.
1 Year Warranty (Rotor Accessories): Standard manufacturer's warranty.
Intuitive Touch-Wheel Interface: Features a simple, glove-compatible control wheel for rapid and precise adjustment of centrifugation parameters.
Versatile Rotor Options: Offers 5 different rotor selections, including fixed-angle and swing-out designs, to meet diverse application needs.
Quiet Brushless DC Motor: Operates with minimal noise and requires no routine maintenance, making it perfect for shared laboratory spaces.
Small Footprint: Encloses all high-end functionalities within a compact 323 x 427 mm frame to conserve valuable bench space.
Safety Sensor Systems: Equipped with a microprocessor-controlled imbalance sensor that automatically stops the unit if a load error is detected.
Memory Storage: Includes 99 memory sets to quickly store and recall your most frequently used centrifugation protocols.
Fine-Tuned Braking: Offers 10 acceleration and 10 deceleration settings to protect delicate samples from agitation during ramp-up or stop.
Clear Status Indicators: Uses LED lights to provide at-a-glance status updates: standby (yellow), centrifugation (red), or run completed (green).
Global Compliance: Fully compliant with IEC/EN 61010-1 and 61326-1 standards for product safety and electromagnetic compatibility.

Applications for Ohaus Frontier 5000 Series Multi FC5706P Centrifuge:

Clinical Diagnostics: Ideal for processing standard blood and urine tubes in small-to-midsize medical laboratories.
DNA/RNA Research: Utilizing the fixed-angle rotors for the preparation and purification of genomic materials in 1.5/2.0 ml microtubes.
Cell Culture: Using the 50 ml conical tube capacity for harvesting cells or sedimenting cultures.
General Centrifugation: Providing reliable low-speed separation for a wide range of daily research and educational protocols.
Sample Concentration: Pelleting biological precipitates or concentrating chemical samples in varied tube sizes.
Routine Sedimentation: Efficiently separating solids from liquids in environmental or food testing samples.

Ohaus Frontier 5000 Series Multi FC5706P Bundles:

1. The FC5706P+R77 bundle is a dedicated clinical and research kit that includes a high-capacity 12 x 15 ml fixed-angle rotor (R77). This package is specifically designed for labs requiring consistent processing of 15 ml round or conical bottom tubes. It can be further adapted with accessories to handle smaller volumes like 7 ml, 5 ml, or 1.5/2.0 ml tubes, making it a highly flexible choice for routine blood work and sample preparation.

2. The FC5706P+R78 bundle acts as the high-volume workhorse for this platform, featuring a 6 x 50 ml fixed-angle rotor (R78). This bundle is perfectly suited for cell culture or larger volume separation tasks that utilize 50 ml round or conical bottom tubes. Like the other kits, it offers enhanced adaptability through a range of optional adapters to process smaller 30 ml, 16 ml, or 15 ml tubes without changing the primary rotor.

3. The FC5706P+R97 bundle is optimized for specialized clinical applications, coming pre-equipped with a 4 x 10 ml swing-out rotor (R97). This configuration is essential for labs that need to process blood and urine tubes in a horizontal orientation to ensure a clear horizontal separation line. The swing-out design increases laboratory versatility, allowing for high-quality sediment separation in a compact benchtop format.

Recommendation:

Choose the FC5706P+R77 bundle if your laboratory requires high-throughput, small-volume processing. The 12-place 15 mL angle rotor is the ideal workhorse for routine clinical diagnostics, allowing you to maximize sample output in a single run—perfect for high-volume blood collection tube processing.
Choose the FC5706P+R78 bundle if your lab requires versatility for mixed-volume applications. The 6-place 50 mL angle rotor provides the flexibility to handle larger volumes, making it an excellent choice for general research, cell culture, or specialized extraction protocols where larger tube sizes are necessary.
Choose the FC5706P+R97 bundle if your work involves specialized micro-centrifugation tasks. The 18-place 1.5/2.0 mL angle rotor is specifically designed for high-speed pelleting of micro-samples, which is essential for DNA, RNA, and protein preparation workflows.

Please Note: Model FC5706P base unit does not come with a rotor.

Ohaus Frontier 5000 Series Multi FC5706P-IVD:

"IVD Certified – Suitable for in vitro diagnostic sample preparation in regulated clinical labs (TGA/ARTG compliant)"

What Does “IVD” Mean?

The FC5706P-IVD model in the Ohaus Frontier 5000 Series is the IVD-certified version of this popular multi-purpose centrifuge.

IVD stands for “In Vitro Diagnostics”. It means the centrifuge has been specially tested and certified to meet strict international and Australian regulatory standards for use in in vitro diagnostic testing — that is, lab procedures performed on samples (like blood, urine or other body fluids) outside the body to help diagnose, monitor or manage health conditions.

The FC5706P-IVD centrifuge and its associated accessories an in vitro diagnostic (IVD) medical device certified under Australian TGA regulations and the European In Vitro Diagnostic Medical Devices Regulation (EU) 2017/746. It includes the required IVD symbol, ARTG number, manufacturer details, and clear instructions for its intended diagnostic use (sample preparation in clinical testing). Full labelling complies with TGA Essential Principles and IVD-specific requirements.

Why this matters to you:

If your lab or clinic performs diagnostic testing where results are used for patient care (e.g., clinical chemistry, haematology, microbiology, or sample prep for diagnostic assays), the FC5706P-IVD is the compliant choice.
It gives you confidence that the centrifuge meets the same quality, safety and traceability requirements as other IVD-certified equipment in regulated environments.
The standard (non-IVD) FC5706P models are great for research, quality control or general lab use, but they are not certified for IVD/diagnostic applications.

Quick summary

FC5706P-IVD = IVD-certified → suitable for clinical diagnostic labs and regulated workflows
Standard FC5706P = research/general-purpose → not IVD-certified

If your work involves diagnostic testing or regulated environments, go with the FC5706P-IVD to stay compliant. If you're doing research or non-diagnostic work, either model will serve you well.
