The Ohaus FC5718 Frontier Multi-Pro Centrifuge is a versatile, high-performance benchtop centrifuge built to meet the rigorous demands of modern laboratories. Designed with both efficiency and safety in mind, it features a motorized lid-lock system, automatic rotor identification, and active imbalance detection—ensuring each run starts safely and ends reliably. Its large backlit LCD display clearly shows real-time run parameters, and intuitive controls with a rotary knob make adjustments simple, even when wearing gloves.
With space for up to 4 x 100 mL and support for a broad range of angle and swing-out rotors, the FC5718 adapts easily to a variety of protocols. Program storage for up to 99 runs, 10 acceleration/deceleration settings, and Quickspin and continuous run modes provide the flexibility required for both routine and specialized applications. Its maintenance-free induction drive and thread-free rotor locking system streamline daily use, while the chemical-resistant stainless steel housing ensures long-lasting durability in demanding lab environments. Compatible with sealed and biocontainment rotors, the FC5718 also provides protection from hazardous aerosols, making it a reliable and safe choice for high-throughput centrifugation needs. All of our equipment is in excellent condition and will be fully tested to perform at factory specifications before being shipped.
