5702 R Centrifuge: A Compact Solution for Versatile Laboratory Applications
The 5702 R is an advanced refrigerated centrifuge designed to meet the diverse needs of general-purpose laboratories. This compact unit combines a powerful yet efficient centrifugation system with a wide range of rotors, tubes, and versatile functions, making it ideal for use in cell culture, clinical, and research labs. Whether you're working with conical tubes, blood collection tubes, or other sample containers, the 5702 R delivers reliable performance with minimal noise, helping to maintain a comfortable working environment.
The 5702 R offers an impressive maximum Relative Centrifugal Force (RCF) of 3,052 × g when used with a swing-bucket rotor and 1,900 × g with a fixed-angle rotor. The centrifuge operates within a speed range of 100 to 4,400 rpm, allowing users to customize the centrifugation process based on their specific needs. The FastTemp function ensures rapid pre-cooling, saving valuable time, while continuous cooling after the run preserves sample integrity by maintaining temperature settings. With a temperature range of -9°C to 40°C, the 5702 R can handle temperature-sensitive samples with precision and consistency.
Laboratory spaces are often limited, which is why the 5702 R is designed to be as compact as possible, with a footprint of just 38 × 58 cm (15 × 22.9 in), making it suitable for virtually any lab bench. Its low access height of 27 cm (10.6 in) ensures that loading and unloading samples is simple and efficient. The quiet operation of the unit (less than 46 dB with the Rotor A-4-38) contributes to a more pleasant working environment, allowing laboratory personnel to focus without the disruption of loud equipment noise.
Additionally, the ECO shut-off feature automatically powers down the unit after 8 hours of inactivity, significantly reducing energy consumption and extending the lifespan of the centrifuge’s compressor. This makes the 5702 R not only highly functional but also cost-effective and environmentally friendly.
The 5702 R is engineered for high accuracy and safety, ensuring the highest quality of centrifugation. It features active heating, which maintains precise temperature control throughout the entire centrifugation process, guaranteeing that samples remain within the desired range. The unit is equipped with imbalance detection, a crucial safety feature that prevents potential hazards by automatically stopping the machine if uneven loading is detected.
For additional security, the centrifuge comes with a key lock to prevent accidental changes to the set parameters, ensuring that protocols are followed without interruption. The stainless steel rotor chamber is corrosion-resistant and easy to clean, promoting longevity and simplifying maintenance.
Optional aerosol-tight caps are available for safe handling of hazardous materials, providing an added layer of safety when working with infectious or dangerous substances.
The 5702 R is the perfect balance of functionality, safety, and efficiency, providing the features necessary to streamline laboratory workflows while maintaining the highest standards of precision and care.
