- Reaches maximum speeds within ten seconds.
The Eppendorf 5417C Digital Centrifuge is a reliable microprocessor controlled microcentrifuge that spins up to 16,400 rpm with consistent quiet operation (<60dB). This benchtop or cold room centrifuge features automatic rotor detection, which automatically calibrates to rotor specifications and limits rotor speed per different rotor. The Eppendorf 5417C includes a 30-place capacity rotor, but can also be used with multiple Eppendorf rotors for 24-place, swinging bucket 8-place, or six 8-tube strips. Easy-to-use keypad and LED allow users to select time and speed, in variable second or minutes and rpm or rcf units respectively. Maximum speeds are reached within ten seconds. This rotor has a maximum speed of 14,000 RPM.
All of our equipment is fully tested to perform at factory
specifications before being shipped.
Please confirm this rotor meets your application needs and request a different rotor, if necessary. Available rotors can be found in our Rotor Compatibility Guide

- Confirm the power supply output voltages match specified requirements for stable distribution to all internal components
- Measure and verify voltages at PCB test points to ensure accurate power delivery and circuit integrity
- Confirm rotor compatibility with the centrifuge model and check that rotor detection systems recognize the rotor type
- Inspect the exterior for any cosmetic or structural damage that could affect performance or safety
- Check the door mechanism alignment to ensure secure and smooth opening and closing
- Inspect and replace the gas strut with an OEM part to maintain proper door support and safety
- Examine the rotor chamber bowl for dents or damage and replace as needed to ensure safe operation
- Replace and confirm full functionality of all lid lock switches to maintain secure closure
- Inspect and lubricate the door lock mechanism, applying grease to the lid lock rail for smooth operation
- Test compressor functionality (if applicable) to ensure proper operation and consistent temperature control
- Conduct an 8-12 hour cycle test to validate consistent performance over prolonged use
- Confirm rotor motor stability, check for unusual noise, and assess mechanical integrity during operation
- Inspect the condensation drain and clear any clogs to prevent moisture buildup in the rotor chamber
- Verify RPM accuracy using an NIST-traceable tachometer and perform calibration as necessary
- Check the centrifuge error log to ensure zero recorded issues, confirming system reliability
