High-Volume Microcentrifuge Bundle

This high-capacity bundle features the Ohaus Frontier 5515 Micro Centrifuge paired with the (30372717) 44 × 1.5/2.0ml Rotor. Designed for high-throughput applications in research and clinical settings, this package provides a massive 44-place capacity for standard micro-tubes in 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).

  • Complete Package: Includes the high-speed FC5515 unit and a 44-place 1.5/2.0ml angle rotor.
  • 99 personal program functions for streamlined workflows.
  • Nucleic Acid Separation and Protein Separation.
  • High-throughput 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 (30372717) 44-place Angle Rotor, providing the highest throughput available for 1.5/2.0ml tubes in the microcentrifuge line. For future needs, Ohaus provides a comprehensive Frontier 5000 rotor guide for identifying additional biocontainment or PCR strip options.

Making Your Decision

  1. Maximize Throughput: This bundle provides 44 slots for standard 1.5/2.0ml tubes, nearly doubling the capacity of standard 24-place rotors.
  2. Verify that the maximum RCF of 21,953 x g meets your high-speed separation requirements.
  3. Consider this air-cooled model for high-volume ambient temperature applications to maximize bench space.
  4. Review the 99 program memories to ensure it supports your lab's frequent protocols.
