• DNA/RNA extraction and preparation

• Ultrafiltration and high-speed spin-down procedures

• Research involving biocontained or hazardous samples

The OHAUS Frontier 5000 Series Mini, the Frontier 5306, is a powerful and convenient mini centrifuge for simple, quick life-science liquid separation, small but capable of speeds from 0 to 6,000 rpm and a maximum relative centrifugal force of 2,000 x g. An 8-place 1.5/2 mL tube rotor plus a 4-place PCR 8-strip tube rotor let it accommodate 0.2 mL 8-strip tubes or 32 individual PCR tubes, with an included adapter also fitting 0.2 mL and 0.5 mL tubes into the 8-place rotor. A low-voltage power input, quiet brushless motor and vibration-absorbing rubber base minimize operational noise, while a rotor-imbalance sensor and two safety switches immediately stop the rotor if the lid opens during use, and simple one-step operation begins rotation as soon as the sample is placed and the lid closed.

Key features:

• Speed range 0-6,000 rpm, RCF up to 2,000 x g

• 8-place 1.5/2 mL rotor plus 4-place PCR 8-strip rotor

• Accommodates 0.2 mL/0.5 mL tubes with included adapter

• Quiet brushless motor with vibration-absorbing rubber base

• Rotor-imbalance sensor and dual safety switches

Typical applications:

• Quick spin-down of PCR tubes and small liquid volumes

• Everyday life-science liquid separation tasks

• Laboratories needing simple, one-step centrifuge operation

OHAUS Frontier 5000 rotors extend the functionality of Frontier centrifuges by increasing the number and variety of tube types and sizes that can be used with each centrifuge model, offering flexibility to maximize sample preparation. The range covers maximum speeds from 4,000 up to 30,000 rpm and relative centrifugal forces from roughly 1,817 x g up to 28,045 x g and beyond, giving users a rotor matched to almost any sample volume and throughput requirement. Easy to clean and operate, the rotors install and remove in a few quick, simple steps for easy sample access, and are durably constructed from high-quality materials built to withstand demanding workflows, from autoclave sterilization through to sub-zero temperatures.

Key features:

• Maximum speeds from 4,000 to 30,000 rpm across the rotor range

• Relative centrifugal force from roughly 1,800 x g up to 28,000+ x g
