5702 Centrifuge – Reliable, Efficient, and Compact for Everyday Laboratory Use
The 5702 Centrifuge is a versatile and compact centrifuge specifically designed to meet the needs of low- to medium-throughput laboratories. Its small footprint, user-friendly design, and wide range of rotor options make it the ideal solution for various applications, including blood collection, cell culture, and general sample preparation. Whether you are working in clinical, research, or educational labs, the 5702 centrifuge is engineered to provide dependable, high-quality results while saving space.
The 5702 centrifuge offers a total of six rotor options, including both fixed-angle and swing-bucket rotors, providing flexibility to handle a wide variety of sample types and volumes. The maximum capacity is 4 × 100 mL, which is sufficient for a range of applications. When using conical tubes, the unit accommodates up to 20 × 15 mL or 4 × 50 mL, while for blood collection tubes, it holds up to 36 tubes of 13 mm or 30 tubes of 16 mm diameter. This capacity makes it a highly versatile tool for labs that require flexibility in their centrifugation tasks.
The Eppendorf 5702 centrifuge operates at a speed range of 100 to 4,400 rpm, adjustable in 100-rpm increments. It also offers a maximum RCF of 3,052 × g with the swing-bucket rotor, ensuring efficient separation of samples. Its fixed-angle rotor provides an RCF of 1,900 × g, making it suitable for applications requiring a lower centrifugal force. Acceleration and deceleration times are both under 19 seconds, allowing for quick and efficient sample processing.
For users seeking greater precision, the centrifuge is equipped with a timer that ranges from 0 to 99 minutes and includes a continuous run function. Additionally, the SOFT brake function allows for gentle deceleration, preventing disturbance to sensitive samples and minimizing re-suspension of pelletized material. This is especially important in cell culture and other delicate sample applications.
Quiet and Space-Saving Design
The Eppendorf 5702 centrifuge is designed to fit easily into a variety of lab spaces. With dimensions of 32 × 40 × 24 cm (12.6 × 15.6 × 9.6 in.), it has a compact footprint that saves valuable bench space. Despite its small size, it can handle a large number of samples, making it ideal for labs with limited room. The noise level of less than 52 dB(A) with the A-4-38 rotor ensures a quiet work environment, allowing it to be used in shared spaces or labs focused on concentration-intensive tasks.
User-Friendly Operation
Ease of use is a major focus in the design of the Eppendorf 5702. The unit features simple rotary knobs that allow users to quickly set parameters like speed and time. The digital display ensures accuracy, while the unit’s non-refrigerated design keeps maintenance minimal. Additionally, the lid can be easily opened to 53 cm (20.7 in.) for loading and unloading, yet it remains compact when closed to save space.
Reliable Power and Low Energy Consumption
The centrifuge operates on a power supply of 230 V and has a maximum power consumption of just 200 W, making it an energy-efficient choice for labs. Its durable construction ensures long-term reliability, while its non-refrigerated design minimizes the need for additional maintenance or servicing.
