Eppendorf is well known for their unmatched quality and reliability when it comes to centrifuges. Eppendorf manufactures the highest quality products for their valuable users. They provide users with one of the most efficient and user-friendly centrifuges on the market.
The Eppendorf Centrifuge 5424 has become a staple for most academic and industry setting labs. The ergonomic design and compact nature give the user a pleasant experience while centrifuging samples. Eppendorf Centrifuge 5424 has a rotor capacity of 4, keep in mind rotors must be purchased separately to meet your project needs. It can centrifuge samples at a force of 21 Gs, with an operating noise level comparable to a refrigerator. Acceleration to desired RPMs takes 16 seconds, deceleration in 18 seconds with soft brake function.
Eppendorf recently released the new Eppendorf Centrifuge 5425 which is set to replace the premier Eppendorf Centrifuge 5424 across most academic and industry setting labs. The ergonomic, compact nature and OptiBowl® design give the user a pleasant experience while centrifuging samples. Eppendorf Centrifuge 5425 has an increased rotor capacity of 6 compared to the Eppendorf centrifuge 5424 model, keep in mind rotors must be purchased separately to meet your project needs. It can centrifuge samples at a force of 21 Gs, with an operating noise level comparable to a refrigerator. Acceleration to desired RPMs takes 15 seconds, deceleration in 15 seconds which will save you time. Both centrifuges operate at ambient temperature.
