The "Multipurpose Versatility" Refrigerated Microcentrifuge
Unique cross-over Centrifuges 5430 and 5430 R bring multipurpose versatility to every lab bench! These new centrifuges spin rotors for Eppendorf tubes and PCR strips as you would expect from any microcentrifuge. But that’s not all. In a compact size—just over a foot of bench space—Models 5430 and 5430 R also accommodate rotors for microplates, as well as 15 mL and 50 mL conical tubes. Until now, this has only been possible with large multipurpose centrifuges.
FEATURES
- 8 different rotor options available, accommodating everything from 0.2 mL tubes to 50 mL conical tubes and microplates
- High centrifugation speed up to 30,130 x g (17,500 rpm)
- Compact footprint to fit on all lab benches
- Eppendorf QuickLock lids come standard with all aerosol-tight rotors (except high-speed rotor 24 x 1.5/2 mL) for ergonomic rotor lid locking
- Centrifuge lid with a soft-touch closure for ergonomic operation
- Automatic rotor recognition and imbalance detection for maximum safety
- Menu-driven operation with large backlit LCD display for ultra easy operation
- FastTemppro® allows programming of pre-cooling via date and time to make sure the centrifuge is ready for use when you come to the lab in the morning
- ECO shut-off can be adjusted to engage after 8, 4, 2, or 1 hour of nonuse to reduce energy consumption and extend compressor life (can be deactivated in menu). Saves you up to 88% energy overnight.
- Built-in condensation drain to eliminate water accumulation and prevent corrosion
- Saves up to 50 programs with program names
- 5 program keys for easy access to routine programs
- Available as a rotary knob version for fast parameter selection, or keypad version for easy cleaning
- 2-year warranty.
Let the 5430 be your "personal multipurpose centrifuge." Centrifuge samples in 50 mL conical tubes on your lab bench or spin down PCR plates at your PCR workstation to minimize contamination risks. With a 5430 personal centrifuge, you won’t have to coordinate a time to use your lab’s centrifuge or make a visit to the centrifuge room.
2-point screw-lock mechanism – ensures secure closure
New lid design – no sharp edges that may tear gloves or pose risk of injury
Soft-touch closure – ergonomic lid locking
Automatic lid opening when run is complete– Prevents sample warming and allows easy access to samples. Can optionally be deactivated in the software.
Metal rotor chamber – durable, easy to clean
The speed you need (30,130 x g) and a set of 8 different rotors – maximum versatility to satisfy all your applications
Optimized rotor design – reduced noise level to benefit your work environment
Automatic rotor recognition – automatic limitation to the permissible rotor speed for peace-of-mind operation
Automatic imbalance detection – additional safety
Display keys are labeled in full text and each performs one function – for easier operation
5 program keys – fast access to routine programs
Large back lit display – easy identification of parameters. Intuitive symbols display run status
Full-digit speed display (rpm/rcf) – easy identification of parameters
Adjustable end-of-run alarm – to reduce noise level
Menu-driven operation – easy programming of centrifuge protocols and additional parameters:
•SOFT-brake protects delicate samples
•SHORT-spin can be programmed to desired speed
•"At set rpm" starts timer when set speed is reached for better reproducibility
•Parameter lock prevents accidental changes to your settings
•50 programs including centrifuge parameters and program name
Additional features for refrigerated Model 5430 R
Compressor at the back – ensures a space-saving small footprint and a low profile for ergonomic access to the rotors
ECO shut-off – can be adjusted to engage after 8, 4, 2, or 1 hour of nonuse to reduce energy consumption and extend compressor life (can be deactivated in menu). Saves you up to 88% energy overnight.
FastTemppro® software feature – allows for automatic pre-cooling based on pre-programmable time and date. Users save energy by turning off the compressor overnight and allowing FastTemppro to make sure the centrifuge is ready for use in the morning.
FastTemp–for fastest pre-cooling and maximum temperature accuracy
Built-in condensation drain– eliminates water accumulation to prevent corrosion
Eppendorf QuickLock® rotors
Our aerosol-tight Eppendorf QuickLock rotors close with only 1/4 of a turn. This not only saves you time during every day use, it also takes repetitive stress off your wrist.
Eppendorf Kit rotor® for 24 x spin columns and 1.5/2.0 mL tubes is designed with an extra high rim to support open tube lids during centrifugation. Tube lids don't tear off anymore. The rotor spins at max. 19,090 x
g / 13,200 rpm and comes with an aerosol-tight lid for safe centrifugation of hazardous samples such as viruses, pathogen bacteria, blood samples or radioactive probes.
Model 5430 is also available in a refrigerated version (5430 R). The compressor at the back of the Centrifuge 5430 R—characteristic to all Eppendorf microcentrifuges—keeps the footprint small and the access height low.
Menu-driven operation – easy programming of centrifuge protocols and additional parameters:
- SOFT-brake protects delicate samples
- SHORT-spin can be programmed to desired speed
- "At set rpm" starts timer when set speed is reached for better reproducibility
- Parameter lock prevents accidental changes to your settings
- 50 programs including centrifuge parameters and program name
Energy savings of ECO shut-off and FastTempPRO:
ECO shut-off saves you up to 88% energy overnight by deactivating the compressor after a period of nonuse can be adjusted to engage after 8, 4, 2, or 1 hour).
In addition to the standard FastTemp pre-cooling program Eppendorf Centrifuge 5430 R features a unique software option called FastTemppro. This program allows for automated pre-cooling based on pre-programmable time and date. FastTemppro can be set to a specific date or as a repetitive event during several days every week. Simply turn the centrifuge into standby mode when you leave your lab and let FastTemppro take care of pre-cooling in the morning. This not only makes operation super easy, it also saves you up to 90 % of energy over night.
