Built Greener — Environmental Leadership

CFC-Free Refrigeration: The FC5515R features a powerful cooling system that prioritizes environmental leadership, utilizing CFC-free refrigerants to minimize global warming potential while maintaining precise temperature control for sensitive samples.

German Engineering: Every Frontier 5515R model is engineered and manufactured in Germany, delivering the precision, build quality, and service longevity that research and clinical laboratories depend on.

Ready-to-Use Refrigerated Bundle

This high-performance bundle features the Ohaus Frontier 5515R Refrigerated Micro Centrifuge paired with the (30642371) 24 × 1.5/2.0ml BIOSEALS V2 Rotor. Designed for high-speed applications where temperature integrity is critical, this package provides an immediate solution for DNA/RNA preparation and ultrafiltration.

Featuring an intuitive interface with a combined knob/button control, automatic rotor identification, and a maintenance-free induction drive—this microcentrifuge is a versatile essential for any lab. The unit features a corrosion-resistant stainless steel chamber and a clear Backlit Liquid Crystal Display (LCD).

  • Complete Package: Includes the refrigerated FC5515R unit and a 24-place 1.5/2.0ml Bioseals rotor.
  • Precise cooling down to -20°C with rapid pre-cooling capabilities.
  • Nucleic Acid Separation and Protein Separation
  • Diagnostics and Environmental Sample Preparation

Choosing the Right Model

The Frontier series offers four distinct designs: Multi Pro, Multi, Micro, and Mini. The FC5515R is the premier refrigerated "Micro" model, offering high-speed performance (up to 15,200 rpm) with a capacity up to 44 x 1.5 / 2.0 ml or 12 x 5 ml.

Size and Application

The FC5515R provides the cooling necessary for temperature-sensitive samples while maintaining a relatively compact footprint for high-speed benchtop micro-separations.

Rotor Selection & Compatibility

This bundle is specifically equipped with the (30642371) 24-place BIOSEALS V2 rotor, ideal for secure, high-speed micro-applications. For future needs, Ohaus provides a comprehensive Frontier 5000 rotor guide for identifying additional biocontainment or PCR strip options.

Making Your Decision

  1. Refrigeration Advantage: This bundle is essential if your samples require strict temperature control between -20°C and 40°C.
  2. Immediate Utility: Eliminates the need to source a rotor separately for standard 1.5/2.0ml tubes.
  3. Verify that the maximum RCF of 21,953 x g meets your high-speed separation requirements.
  4. Consider future requirements to ensure long-term utility across various microliter applications.
