Centrifuge 5427 R: Now with Hydrocarbon Cooling

Lab Academy

Global warming and its consequences are among the most pressing challenges of our time. Fluorinated hydrocarbons, which had been used until recently in cooling systems such as air conditioning units, but also in laboratory centrifuges and freezers, can, upon their release, contribute to global warming due to their chemical structure. Therefore, in order to protect our planet for future generations, it is important to switch to more environmentally friendly “green” coolants – hydrocarbons – even in the laboratory.

Low GWP – high performance
The new Centrifuge 5427 R convinces not only with its reliable propane-based cooling system. With its compact footprint and the dual row rotor FA-45-48-11 for up to 48 x 1.5/2 mL tubes, it is the optimal solution, especially for laboratories with high sample throughput. Areas in which many users share the instrument will also benefit from its large selection of rotors: a total of nine fixed-angle and swing-out rotors cover a broad bandwidth of applications within the fields of molecular biology and cell biology.
