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

8 Jan 2013

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.

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
