Size and Application
The FC5515R is a refrigerated unit ideal for high-speed micro-separations where temperature control (down to -20°C) is required for sample integrity, 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).
- Verify the refrigeration requirements of your samples to ensure the -20°C to 40°C range meets your needs.
- Consider future requirements to ensure long-term utility.
