Short Description: Centrifuge 5804R is a compact refrigerated benchtop centrifuge from Eppendorf, designed for biological and molecular samples.

Masiu fotometras 2MPProduser: Eppendorf

Equipment Information: 

Functions: 

  • Refrigeration (–9 °C to +40 °C) ensures stable sample temperature
  • Adjustable speed and RCF up to ~20,000 × g
  • Automatic rotor recognition and imbalance detection
  • Programmable run cycles, timer, and multi-user program memory

Capabilities:

  • Includes fixed-angle rotor with adapters for 15 ml and 50 ml tubes
  • Swing-bucket rotors available for 15 ml and 50 ml tubes as well as microplates
  • Precise control of speed and temperature for long separations

Purpose / Usage:

  • Separation of cells and cellular fractions
  • Purification of proteins, DNA/RNA, and other biomolecules

Applications:

  • Molecular biology, microbiology, biochemistry, and pharmaceutical laboratories
  • Clinical research and diagnostic centers

Operating Principle:

  1. Liquid samples are placed in tubes and loaded into the rotor.
  2. The rotor spins at high speed, generating centrifugal force.
  3. Due to density differences, sample components (cells, organelles, molecules) sediment into separate layers within the tube.
  4. The refrigeration system maintains a constant set temperature, protecting samples from degradation.
