Ohaus Frontier 5000 Series Multi Pro Floor Standing Refrigerated Centrifuges

The Ohaus Frontier 5000 Series Multi Pro Floor-Standing Refrigerated Centrifuges are powerful and versatile universal units designed for virtually every laboratory application, from research and industrial work to clinical diagnostics. This high-capacity series offers a high-speed centrifugation platform that can be fully customized using an extensive range of rotors and accessories to fit specific workflow needs. Engineered with German precision and high-quality components, these centrifuges feature a chemical-resistant stainless steel chamber, automatic rotor identification, and an intuitive backlit LCD interface for easy access to parameter settings.

These floor-standing and under-bench models are specifically engineered for high-throughput laboratory environments, providing massive litre-scale capacity alongside sophisticated cooling. With the ability to process up to four litres of sample in a single run, they are indispensable for large-scale cell harvesting, protein separation, and clinical diagnostics. The series is equipped with advanced safety features, including over-speed protection and active imbalance detection, ensuring maximum security for operators during high-speed, high-volume operations.

Features of Ohaus Frontier 5000 Series Multi Pro FC5917RF Floor Standing Refrigerated Centrifuges:

  • 2 Year Warranty: This series is backed by a standard manufacturer’s warranty, ensuring long-term reliability and professional support for your laboratory’s critical infrastructure.
  • High-Capacity Processing: Accommodates a massive 4 x 1,000 ml capacity, allowing you to spin up to 192 blood tubes or 96 conical tubes in a single run.
  • Powerful Performance: Reaches speeds up to 16,010 rpm and a maximum RCF of 26,361 x g for precise and efficient separation.
  • CFC-Free Refrigeration: Features a powerful cooling system with a range from -20°C to 40°C and a pre-cooling program to quickly safeguard sensitive samples.
  • Automatic Rotor Identification: Automatically detects the installed rotor to set correct speed limits and active imbalance tolerances for increased safety.
  • Intuitive Operation: Equipped with a backlit LCD display and a selection button/rotary knob combination for simple one-handed operation, even with gloves.
  • Extensive Memory: Store and easily recall up to 99 runs, including all parameter settings and specific rotor types for repeatable results.
  • Chemical-Resistant Construction: Built with a corrosion-resistant stainless steel rotor chamber for durability and easy cleaning in harsh lab environments.
  • Flexible Rotor Selection: Compatible with six different rotor configurations, including sealed and TÜV-certified rotors for protection against harmful aerosols.
  • Motorized Lid-Locking: Features a motorized system to prevent accidental injuries during operation and over-speed protection upon rotor insertion.

Applications for Ohaus Frontier 5000 Series Multi Pro FC5917RF Floor Standing Refrigerated Centrifuges:

  • Blood Sample Processing: Optimized for high-throughput separation of serum and plasma in clinical settings using specialized racks.
  • Cell Harvesting: Efficiently sedimenting large-volume cell cultures for biotech and industrial protein production.
  • Nucleic Acid Separation: Providing the high g-force required for the isolation and purification of DNA and RNA samples.
  • Biotech Research: Ideal for complex protein separation and concentration requiring consistent thermal stability.
  • Industrial Processing: Capable of handling large-scale chemical and environmental sample preparations with precise parameter control.
  • General Sample Preparation: A versatile high-capacity platform for routine lab tasks across clinical and research environments.

Choosing Your Model:

FC5917RF-Short (Refrigerated Floor Unit)

The Ohaus FC5917RF-Short (Under Bench) is a specialized under-bench model designed for laboratories with limited vertical space or those requiring a lower-profile installation. Despite its compact height of only 700 mm, it maintains the full 4 x 1,000 ml capacity and high-speed performance of the standard floor model, reaching up to 16,010 rpm and 26,361 x g. This ergonomic configuration offers significant space-saving benefits without compromising on power or cooling efficiency, making it the perfect solution for busy labs that need to maximize their under-counter storage.

FC5917RF (Refrigerated Floor Unit)

The Ohaus FC5917RF is the full-height, floor-standing flagship of the Multi Pro series, optimized for maximum accessibility and ease of use. Standing at 980 mm, it features an ergonomically designed height that allows for easy loading and unloading of high-capacity samples. Integrated wheels provide the flexibility to move the unit easily between different laboratory workstations, while its maintenance-free induction motor delivers the precise separation results needed for biotech and industrial research.

Please Note: Models - FC5917RF & FC5917RF-Short do not come with rotors.

Recommendation:

  • Choose the FC5917RF if your laboratory staff prefers a standard-height work surface. This model stands at a height that aligns with typical laboratory benches, making it comfortable for users who are loading and unloading heavy, high-capacity rotors throughout a standard shift.
  • Choose the FC5917RF-Short if you have limited vertical space or prefer a low-profile ergonomic design. The reduced height makes it significantly easier to access the centrifuge chamber, which is particularly beneficial for shorter operators or for placement in facilities with low-hanging shelving and overhead constraints.
