Compact, Refrigerated Centrifuge

Model 5702 R refrigerated centrifuge, for low-speed clinical and research applications, has a maximum speed of 3,000 ×g and offers a choice of fixed-angle or swing bucket rotors. All types of popular round bottom and conical tubes from 1.1 to 85 ml can be accommodated, and 20 × 10 ml blood tubes or 30 × 15 ml conical tubes can be centrifuged within a small footprint on the bench. An easy-to-use control interface with a digital display of RPM, g-force, time, and temperature improves reproducibility. Two blue-lit program buttons provide quick recall of frequently used parameters. The 5702 R features an "at set rpm" timer mode that starts the timer when the centrifuge reaches nominal speed, for enhanced reproducibility. Audible alarm provides alerts when a run is completed. All parameters can be locked to avoid accidental changes. The brake can be deactivated for sensitive blood and urine separations. Unit temperature range is ץ to 40 degrees C and stand-by cooling insures that temperature is maintained even when the centrifuge is not in use. Fast cool button allows nominal temperature to be rapidly obtained from room temperature. A non-refrigerated version is available.
