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