Smooth and Dependable High-Speed Microliter Centrifuge for Life Science Separation Applications.

Biocontainment rotors enable research involving hazardous samples. Engineered with the convenience of operation in mind, these centrifuges feature an intuitive interface, with all key parameters immediately accessible for observation and adjustment. The compact design saves valuable bench space in the lab.

Frontier Micro centrifuges deliver high-speed operation for a range of essential lab applications, such as DNA/RNA preparation, ultrafiltration, and more.

Frontier microliter benchtop centrifuges provide high-speed operation for spin-down applications requiring a wide variety of tube volumes and capacities. With refrigeration capabilities, multi-acceleration/deceleration settings, multiple safety features, and an unmatched capacity, Frontier provides stable liquid separation for life science applications requiring a high-speed operation.

Frontier™ 5515 & 5515RHigh-Speed Microliter CentrifugesSmooth and Dependable High-Speed Microliter Centrifuge for Liquid Separation ApplicationsFrontier 5515 and 5515R microliter benchtop centrifuges provide high-speed operation for spin-down applications requiring a wide variety of tube volumes and capacities. With refrigeration capabilities (FC5515R),10 acceleration/deceleration settings, multiple safety features, and an unmatched capacity, Frontier provides stable liquid separation for life science applications requiring high-speed operation.

Easy-to-Use Control Panel that Supports Simple Operation—The intuitive control panel with a rotary knob puts the centrifuge’s simple operations at your fingertips, including the ability to set and recall speed and g-force, as well as control the temperature (FC5515R only)

Sophisticated Technology that Drives High-Performance—A powerful brushless induction motor, 10 acceleration and deceleration settings, and memory for up to 99 commonly-used parameters are a few of Frontier’s features that propel high-performance. 

Several Safety Features that Protect Against Injury—Among Frontier’s safety attributes are a motorized lid-locking system and a rotor imbalance sensor that stops the centrifuge if the rotors become imbalanced or sudden shock occurs, protecting the operator from by the high-speed spinning rotors.

Seven Rotor Sizes that Provide Flexibility for Varied Centrifugation Needs—Compatible with seven different rotors, more than any centrifuge in its class, the highly-versatile Frontier can be used for various applications of different volumes

High-Performance Driven by Sophisticated Technology

Powerful induction motor reaches speeds up to 15,200 RPM in less than 16 seconds

Maximum g-force of 21,953 RCF

10 acceleration/deceleration settings

99 memory sets for commonly-used speed, time, and temperature settings (R Model Only)

R models have refrigeration capabilities from 40° C to -20° C

— Cools down from 23° C to 4° C in less than 10 minutes

— Pre-cool feature quickly lowers the temperature of rotor and chamber before a run

Flexibility for Varied Centrifugation Needs

Maximum capacity of 44 × 1.5/2 mL and 12 × 5 mL tubes

Only centrifuge in its class compatible with 6 rotors (7 rotors on 5515 model),including a PCR strip tube rotor

The most economical centrifuge on the market to include a unique 5 mL tube rotor

The signature snap-on rotor and lid locking system allows for quick installation of rotors with just one press of a button
