The Ohaus Frontier 5306 is a small but powerful mini centrifuge designed for simple and quick liquid separation. It provides quiet, safe, and easy operation for your everyday quick spin-down applications in life science laboratories.

Featuring a brushless quiet motor, auto shut-off safety switches, and one-touch operation, this centrifuge is a versatile essential for any lab bench. The unit can accommodate 0.2 ml 8-strip tubes or 32 individual PCR tubes with the included PCR rotor.

  • Quick spin-down applications
  • Liquid separation in 1.5/2.0 ml tubes
  • PCR tube and strip processing
  • General life science sample preparation

Choosing the Right Model

The Frontier series offers four distinct designs: Multi Pro, Multi, Micro, and Mini. The FC5306 is the primary "Mini" model, offering a lightweight, space-saving footprint specifically for low-speed (6,000 rpm) quick-spin tasks.

Size and Application

The FC5306 is an air-cooled unit optimized for maximum portability and ease of use, making it ideal for workstations where immediate, small-volume separation is required.

Rotor Selection

To simplify the selection process, Ohaus provides a comprehensive Frontier 5000 rotor guide. The FC5306 comes standard with an 8-place 1.5/2 ml tube rotor and a 4-place PCR 8-strip tube rotor to meet your immediate application needs.

Making Your Decision

  1. Assess your laboratory's need for a dedicated quick-spin workstation.
  2. Verify that the maximum RCF of 2,000 x g meets your separation requirements.
  3. Consider the convenience of the one-touch operation for high-frequency, simple tasks.
  4. Review the included adapters for compatibility with 0.2 ml and 0.5 ml tubes.
