Eppendorf Launches New High Capacity Refrigerated Micro-Centrifuge Designed to Increase Efficiency in High-End Research Applications

8 Jan 2013

Product news

Eppendorf has launched the new Centrifuge 5427 R, a quiet, refrigerated, high capacity micro-centrifuge that is designed to meet the demanding performance and throughput requirements of today’s high-end research laboratories.

Equipped with a new 48-place rotor for maximum capacity, the Centrifuge 5427 R significantly reduces the time spent on routine work. Large sets of samples are handled safely and reliably. A choice of rotors makes the system suitable for a wide range of applications and sample types, with high-speed rotors delivering up to 25,000 x g, and options available for a swing bucket Rotor for 24 x1.5/2.0 mL tubes.

For added convenience, a Short-Spin function allows quick centrifugation at a pre-set speed. All rotor lids are aerosol tight and feature the Eppendorf QuickLock® system for rapid opening and closing.

Thanks to FastTemp™ rapid pre-cooling, the Centrifuge 5427 R will cool, for example, from 23˚C to 4˚C in 11 minutes. Once centrifugation is complete, continuous cooling maintains a constant temperature to fully protect the samples. An adjustable ECO shut-off function allows the compressor to be closed down after set periods of non-use in order to help save energy and contribute to a greener laboratory environment.

Eppendorf

If there is a demand for high sample throughput, many centrifuges call it a day in regards to capacity. This does not apply to the Centrifuge 5427 R. With a new double-row 48-place rotor it lives up to the increased efficiency requirements with fast running times in a safe and reliable manner. This is supported by an intuitive human interface and design concept which makes for a compelling user comfort. For these reasons, the Centrifuge 5427 R becomes the ideal solution for high-end research applications. In addition, this microcentrifuge satisfies with an innovative compressor technology which—by taking ecological aspects into account - tempers sensible samples precisely to guarantee a proper preparation of your analysis. Features • New 48-place rotor reduces time expenditure of daily routine works significantly • Short-Spin function allows for quick short centrifugation with pre-selectable rotation speed • Eppendorf QuickLock-system for quick rotor lid opening and closing • Very quiet operation due to further improved sound insulation • FastTemp for rapid pre-cooling of the centrifuge, e. g. from 23 °C to 4 °C in in aprox. 11 minutes • Continuous cooling keeps the temperature after the run constant—Your samples stay safe • Alternatively to continuous cooling: ECO-shut off of the compressor (adjustable after 1, 2, 4 or 8 hours of non-use) for a lower energy consumption

CentrifugesCentrifuges are used to separate particulates suspended in a liquid via the application of a centrifugal force including cells, macromolecules, nanoparticles and precipitates. Centrifuges come in three sizes: microcentrifuges, benchtop and floor-standing centrifuges, depending on the volume and number of samples that require separation. When choosing a centrifuge, consider its maximum separation power indicated by its relative centrifugal force (RCF) value. Low force centrifuges reach a maximum RCF of 8,000 g, high-force centrifuges can reach maximum RCF values of 80,000 g. For extremely high forces, consider ultracentrifuges (up to 800,000 g). Refrigerated and vacuum centrifuges also known as concentrators are available for more specialized applications. A range of volumes are available for centrifuge tubes and microfuge tubes, depending on sample sizes.

This will prevent deterioration and cross contamination, and improve the accuracy of sample tracking procedures.
