Choosing the Right Model
The Frontier series offers four distinct designs: Multi Pro, Multi, Micro, and Mini. The FC5515 is a premier "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 FC5515 is an air-cooled unit optimized for high-speed micro-separations where temperature control below ambient is not required, featuring a compact footprint for crowded benchtops.
Rotor Selection
To simplify the selection process, Ohaus provides a comprehensive Frontier 5000 rotor guide. This guide is an invaluable tool for identifying the appropriate model for your specific requirements and selecting the right rotor package for your microliter applications.
Making Your Decision
- Assess your laboratory's specific microliter volume and high-speed RCF needs.
- Consult the Frontier 5000 rotor guide for accessory compatibility (including biocontainment options).
- Compare the features of this air-cooled model against the refrigerated FC5515R if samples are temperature-sensitive.
- Consider future requirements to ensure long-term utility.
