Eppendorf is a leading life science company that develops and sells instruments, consumables, and services for liquid-, sample-, and cell handling in laboratories worldwide. The company introduced two new centrifuges this year. Several reports indicate Eppendorf as one of the key players in the global laboratory centrifuge market.
In the segment of large refrigerated benchtop centrifuges, Eppendorf has expanded its product range with particularly versatile, high-capacity variant centrifuges - Centrifuge 5425 and 5910 R.
Centrifuge 5425 - The latest generation of a family of centrifuges with more than a 50-year-long lineage, this model is the successor of the legendary Centrifuge 5424. Engineered to be extremely quiet, this 24-place centrifuge is sufficient for centrifugation steps of most routinely used DNA/RNA purification kits. The new swing-out rotor for 96 PCR tubes broadens the spectrum of molecular applications. It also features certified aerosol-tight Eppendorf QuickLock® rotor lids for simple and safe handling.
Centrifuge 5910 R - By combining a high capacity of up to 4 x 750 mL with extraordinary versatility, this unit improves handling and helps save time. It also features a powerful state-of-the-art refrigeration system with advanced temperature management to keep your samples safe. The new universal adapters facilitate even quicker loading; using these new adapters, conical vessels of up to 50 mL, plates and 250 mL bottles may be centrifuged for the very first time without the need for changing rotor, rotor buckets or adapters.
Online stores of reliable lab equipment suppliers offer new as well as refurbished models of Centrifuge 5415. This unit from Eppendorf is a compact, quiet-running centrifugal system, intended for use in research laboratories. It comes with a with a total capacity of 1.6 liters, has variable speed up to 14,000 rpm and forces of 16,000 x g, and also features turn style on/off knob and 18 position rotor.
