Tried and trusted model: In many globally successful biotechnology companies, the Centrifuge 5417R (refrigerated) was already present at the beginnings as part of the startup laboratory equipment. And nowadays they are still successfully doing their jobs.
Reason enough for Eppendorf® to bring the accessory and rotor program of these microliter centrifuges right up to date. The increasing range of applications will be fully covered, now and in the future. For current users and for todays start-up companies. Exceptionally short centrifuge times can be achieved e.g. for Eppendorf reaction tubes with a relative centrifugal acceleration of 25,000 x g in the fixed-angle rotor. The PCR strip rotor enables the centrifugation of 8-tube and 5-tube strips. And, as before, Eppendorf supplies a swing-bucket rotor for 1.5/2 mL reaction tubes and a 30-position fixed-angle rotor. The new robust and high-temperature resistant aluminum lid and the optimized rotor detection ring means that the aerosol-tight version can be autoclaved in its entirety for up to 2h at 140°C to eliminate even prion contamination.
The easy-to-read display and the practical soft keypad on both models enable simple and self-explanatory programming of all operating modes. With short acceleration and braking times at max. rcf and large capacities, the Centrifuge 5417R cope even with high sample throughput in style.
The Fast Cool function cools the 5417R rapidly down to 4°C, which is also maintained during centrifugation at maximum rotational speed. Afterwards, with standby cooling, the centrifuge remains at the required temperature.
