5415D Benchtop Centrifuge: Compact, Reliable, and Efficient
The Eppendorf 5415D benchtop centrifuge is an indispensable tool for laboratories requiring a reliable, non-refrigerated centrifuge for daily routine tasks. With its compact footprint and powerful performance, it is ideally suited for use in research and routine applications in the biosciences, industry, clinical settings, and chemistry laboratories. This centrifuge is designed to handle a variety of small-volume samples, making it a versatile instrument in any laboratory.
One of the standout features of the Eppendorf 5415D is its ability to reach a maximum rotational speed of 13,200 rpm, paired with a maximum relative centrifugal force (rcf) of 16,110. This allows for effective separation of substances at a high speed, ensuring that routine laboratory tasks, such as sample preparation, cell sedimentation, and nucleic acid purification, can be performed efficiently and reliably. The centrifuge is equipped to hold up to 24 x 2.0 ml Safe-Lock micro test tubes or 36 x 0.5 ml tubes, providing flexibility for a range of applications.
The Eppendorf 5415D is engineered for optimal performance, offering acceleration times of less than 13 seconds and deceleration times of less than 11 seconds when using a 230 V power supply. For users operating with a 120 V power supply, acceleration and deceleration times are similarly fast, at less than 15 seconds and less than 13 seconds, respectively. These rapid response times contribute to the overall efficiency of the centrifuge, allowing users to process multiple samples in quick succession.
Another key advantage of the 5415D centrifuge is its user-friendly design. The device features intuitive controls and a straightforward operating interface, ensuring that even inexperienced users can quickly learn how to operate the machine effectively. The compact design, with dimensions of 230 mm in height, 310 mm in depth, and 230 mm in width, ensures that the centrifuge fits comfortably on any laboratory benchtop, without taking up excessive space. Weighing just 8.5 kg without the rotor, it is also easily portable and can be moved as needed within the lab.
The robust construction of the 5415D, along with its powerful motor, ensures that it can consistently handle demanding laboratory tasks. It operates smoothly in ambient temperatures ranging from 2°C to 35°C and can function effectively even in environments with relative humidity up to 75%. This versatility makes it suitable for a wide variety of laboratory environments.
In terms of safety, the 5415D offers built-in features that prioritize user protection. The lid lock system prevents the centrifuge from operating unless the lid is securely closed, ensuring safe operation. Additionally, the device’s sturdy build and design allow for stable operation, even at maximum speed and load.
The 5415D centrifuge is a cost-effective, non-refrigerated option for labs that require consistent, reliable performance without the need for temperature control. However, for users needing temperature regulation, Eppendorf also offers the 5415R model, which includes refrigeration capabilities.
The 5415D is a powerful, compact, and user-friendly centrifuge that excels in a variety of routine laboratory applications. Its combination of high speed, flexible sample capacity, and efficient design make it a valuable asset in any laboratory setting.
