OHAUS Frontier 5000 angled rotor R-A-4X500R15/7M

OHAUS Frontier 5000 angled rotor R-A-4X500R15/7M The OHAUS Frontier 5000 R-A-4X500R15/7M angle rotor was specially developed for demanding centrifuging tasks in the laboratory. Its main application is in fast and efficient sample preparation, where different sample volumes need to be processed. Users benefit from a robust design and precise performance, enabling reliable and repeatable results in many typical laboratory situations. Compared to other available angle rotors on the market, this model offers high load capacity and flexibility as it supports different sample tube sizes and multiple top speeds. Efficient and robust laboratory solution This rotor is designed to work smoothly with Frontier centrifuges and allows a larger number of tubes to be processed simultaneously. Thanks to its sturdy construction made of high-performance aluminium alloy or polypropylene, it can withstand high loads and is easy to clean. It is also designed for easy installation so that the required changeover processes can be carried out without any significant loss of time. With these properties, the rotor supports in particular: - Fast and safe centrifugation at up to 6800 rpm - High relative centrifugal force of 4445 g for efficient sample preparation - Compatibility with different tube sizes (4x50 ml or 4x15 ml) - Durable materials that withstand autoclaving and sub-zero temperatures - Easy accessibility of samples and reliable hold - 30° angle design, ideal for clear separation of sample components - User-friendly design with quick assembly and disassembly In addition to these technical values, the rotors also offer additional features such as excellent acceleration and deceleration characteristics for efficient runs. Depending on the load, the acceleration time is just 54 seconds for partial loads and 679 seconds in other scenarios, while the deceleration time is 49 and 680 seconds respectively. The versatile application ranges from DNA extractions to clinical examinations in which plasma and serum have to be separated in large quantities. The net weight of just 1.07 kg provides a good compromise between stability and mobility. The centrifugation performance remains constant even under changing ambient temperatures of -20 °C to 50 °C. Overall, the rotor can be used effectively in medical, industrial and academic facilities, where it supports critical laboratory tasks in the field of sample preparation. Certifications and standards As OHAUS laboratory equipment usually meets international quality standards, this rotor is also generally compliant with current safety guidelines (e.g. CE). Thanks to the high-quality materials and precise manufacturing, it fulfils strict requirements in terms of mechanical stability, thermal resistance and hygienic purity. It is therefore designed for use under professional laboratory conditions. Concrete application examples - Clinical routines: This rotor is ideal for obtaining blood plasma or separating blood components, for example for diagnostic tests. - Research laboratories: Whether DNA or RNA separation, the rotor allows a high yield thanks to its uniform rotation speed and reliable performance. - Pharmaceutical laboratory work: For sample preparation prior to subsequent analyses, such as HPLC studies of active ingredients. - Environmental analysis: Samples from water or soil analyses can be efficiently sedimented and separated to precisely determine various parameters. Thanks to the flexibility in tube size, both larger volumes (50 ml) and smaller samples (15 ml) can be processed. This makes it ideal for a wide range of projects. FAQs What is the maximum speed of the rotor? The maximum speed is 6800 rpm, which favours rapid separation of substances and efficient sample preparation. Is the rotor aerosol-tight? This rotor is not aerosol-tight. Appropriate protective measures should therefore be used for sensitive samples or biological materials. Can the rotor be used in cold environments? Yes, it is designed for an operating temperature of -20 °C to 50 °C. This means it remains stable and reliable even in cooled applications. Which centrifuge models are compatible? It is designed in particular for the FC5707 models. Please check whether other devices are also compatible before use. What is the maximum load weight of the rotor? The maximum load weight is 296 g, which is sufficient for both powerful applications and smaller routines. Conclusion This rotor is characterised by an excellent combination of robustness, flexibility and easy handling. Its versatility in processing different sample volumes and high resistance to a wide range of laboratory conditions make it an indispensable centrifuging accessory. The well thought-out design allows work processes to be streamlined and reliability to be increased, so that test samples can always be processed efficiently and safely. If you are looking for a high-performance extension for your Frontier centrifuge, this is the ideal solution that will save you time and money in the laboratory in the long term.
