The Ohaus FC5706P Frontier Multi Centrifuge (Recertified) offers dependable performance in a space-saving design, making it well suited for routine laboratory workflows. Operating from 200 to 6,000 RPM and delivering up to 4,427 × g, this unit supports a standard configuration of 6 × 50 mL tubes, with additional rotor options available to accommodate a range of sample formats.

A clear, backlit LCD screen displays both target and real-time run parameters, while onboard memory for up to 99 methods simplifies repeat protocols and improves day-to-day efficiency. The system incorporates a mechanical lid lock for operator safety and manual rotor selection to support multiple applications.

Designed for ease of use, the FC5706P includes adjustable acceleration and braking profiles with 10 selectable settings, allowing greater control over sample handling. Its brushless motor ensures reliable, low-noise operation, and the compact footprint makes it a practical addition to labs where bench space is limited. Backed by CE and FCC certifications, this recertified unit delivers a cost-effective solution without compromising performance.

Centrifuge Inspection and Recertification Checklist

• 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
