Centrifuge 5430 and 5430 R
The Centrifuge 5430 and 5430 R from Eppendorf combine the best of both worlds. With these high-speed centrifuges you benefit from the small footprint of a microcentrifuge and the versatility of a multipurpose centrifuge in one instrument. These high-speed centrifuges offer centrifuge rotors for Eppendorf tubes and PCR strips, but also rotors for microplates and 15 or 50 mL conical tubes.
Additional Eppendorf QuickLock® centrifuge rotors are now available in the rotor program, including 48-place rotors (1.5 mL or 2.0 mL), a 16-place rotor for Eppendorf Tubes 5.0 mL and a swing-bucket rotor (24 x 1.5 mL or 2.0 mL). With their unmatched versatility, Centrifuge 5430 and Centrifuge 5430 R are the flagship products among the Eppendorf microcentrifuge portfolio.
Available as keypad or knob variant.
