The FC5515 is an air-cooled microcentrifuge engineered for high-speed efficiency. The Frontier 5000 line prioritizes reliability and precision, delivering the build quality and service longevity that research and clinical laboratories depend on.

High-Speed Micro Biocontainment Rotor Bundle

This comprehensive bundle features the Ohaus FC5515 Micro Centrifuge paired with the (30130872) 30 × 1.5/2.0ml Angle Rotor. This package is ideal for laboratories requiring higher sample throughput for DNA/RNA preparation and ultrafiltration while maintaining a compact benchtop footprint.

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).

  • Bundle Includes: The high-speed FC5515 unit and the 30-place [R-A30X2/13MS Angle Rotor].
  • High sample throughput with 30-place capacity.
  • 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 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 space-saving footprint for crowded benchtops.

Rotor Selection & Compatibility

This bundle is specifically equipped with the (30130872) 30-place rotor, allowing for efficient processing of larger batches. For future needs, Ohaus provides a comprehensive Frontier 5000 rotor guide for identifying additional biocontainment or PCR strip options.

Making Your Decision

  1. Increased Throughput: This bundle provides 30 slots for standard 1.5/2.0ml tubes, increasing efficiency over standard 24-place rotors.
  2. Verify that the maximum RCF of 21,953 x g meets your laboratory's most demanding separation requirements.
  3. Consider this air-cooled model for ambient temperature applications to maximize bench space.
  4. Review the 99 program memories to ensure it supports your lab's frequent protocols.
