Ohaus Frontier™ FC5515 Micro Centrifuges

Ohaus Frontier™ FC5515 Micro Centrifuges deliver high-speed operation for a range of essential lab applications, such as DNA/RNA preparation, ultrafiltration, and more. Biocontainment rotors enable research involving hazardous samples. Engineered with convenience of operation in mind, these centrifuges feature an intuitive interface, with all key parameters immediately accessible for observation and adjustment. The compact design saves valuable bench space in the lab.

Excellent functionality when used with rotors compatible with 1.5/2.0ml or 5ml microtubes with high throughput & biocontainment options, spin columns, PCR strips, cryo tubes & hematocrit capillaries.

Designed for ease of operation, Frontier Micro centrifuges feature convenient controls on an intuitive interface, allowing responsive operation – even when wearing gloves.

Packaging all their functionality within a small footprint, Frontier Micro centrifuges save valuable space on the lab bench.
