Description
The Ohaus FC5306 is a mini centrifuge in the Ohaus Frontier 5000 Series, catalogued by Ohaus under article number 30134157.
This listing covers the FC5306 drive unit supplied with a selectable rotor: the rotor is specified as part of the order rather than being fixed by the listing.
Configuration as listed
- Manufacturer: Ohaus
- Series: Frontier 5000
- Model: FC5306 (AM)
- Ohaus article number: 30134157
- Class: Frontier 5000 Mini
- Temperature control: Not refrigerated (the temperature-controlled builds in this series carry an R suffix)
- Rotor: Selectable – specified at order
Rotor selection governs the maximum speed, relative centrifugal field and tube format the instrument can run, so those figures follow from the rotor fitted rather than from the drive unit on its own. Check the rated speed, RCF and tube capacity against the Ohaus specification for the specific rotor part number before ordering.
Frequently asked questions
Which rotor is supplied with this centrifuge?+
The rotor is selectable and is specified when the order is placed, so it is not fixed by this listing. Confirm the rotor part number you need, because the rotor rather than the drive unit determines the tube format the instrument accepts.
What maximum speed and RCF does the FC5306 reach?+
Maximum speed and relative centrifugal field are properties of the rotor fitted, not of the drive unit alone, and no rotor-specific figures are carried in the listing data for this item. Check the rated speed and RCF in the Ohaus specification for the exact rotor part number being ordered.
Is the FC5306 refrigerated?+
No. This model is listed without refrigeration. Within the Frontier 5000 Series the temperature-controlled builds are the ones carrying an R suffix, such as the FC5513R.
What is the Ohaus article number for this configuration?+
Ohaus article 30134157. Quoting the article number rather than the model number alone is the reliable way to match this configuration on a purchase order or an approved-equipment list, because several Frontier 5000 models are catalogued in more than one configuration.
Are specifications such as capacity and dimensions confirmed before purchase?+
The listing data for this item carries the model, Ohaus article number, temperature-control type and supply voltage, but not capacity, footprint or rotor-dependent performance figures. Those should be confirmed against the Ohaus documentation for the specific model and rotor combination.
