Ready-to-Use Rotor Bundle

This comprehensive bundle features the Ohaus Frontier 5515 Micro Centrifuge paired with the (30642371) 24 × 1.5/2.0ml Rotor. Designed for high-speed application in research, industrial, and clinical laboratories, this package provides everything needed for immediate, efficient separation of small-volume samples.

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 24-place 1.5/2.0ml rotor.
  • General Sample Preparation and Cell Pelleting
  • 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 compact footprint for crowded benchtops.

Rotor Selection & Compatibility

This bundle is specifically equipped with the 24-place BIOSEALS V2 rotor, ideal for secure, high-speed micro-applications. For future needs, Ohaus provides a comprehensive Frontier 5000 rotor guide for identifying additional biocontainment or PCR strip options.

Making Your Decision

  1. Immediate Utility: This bundle eliminates the need to source a rotor separately for standard 1.5/2.0ml tubes.
  2. Verify that the maximum RCF of 21,953 x g meets your high-speed separation requirements.
  3. Compare the features of this air-cooled model against the refrigerated FC5515R if samples are temperature-sensitive.
  4. Ensure the compact footprint (15.5" Length) fits your designated bench space.
