Eppendorf 5810 and 5810r

The Eppendorf 5810R is a refrigerated benchtop centrifuge designed for medium to high throughput applications. It supports both fixed-angle and swing-bucket rotors, making it versatile for a variety of laboratory protocols, including cell culture, DNA/RNA extraction, and protein precipitation. The 5810R has a maximum capacity of 4 x 750 mL and can accommodate a wide range of tube sizes, from 0.2 mL to 750 mL.

The centrifuge offers a maximum speed of 14,000 revolutions per minute (rpm) and a maximum relative centrifugal force (RCF) of 20,913 x g, making it suitable for both routine and more demanding applications. The refrigeration system allows for precise temperature control, with a temperature range from -9°C to 40°C, ensuring sample integrity, especially when working with temperature-sensitive materials.

The 5810R is compatible with Eppendorf’s aerosol-tight rotors, which help maintain safety when handling hazardous samples. It also includes automatic rotor recognition and imbalance detection, enhancing operational safety and performance. The system has a low noise level of ≤56 dB(A) during operation, contributing to a quieter working environment.

New Eppendorf 5810R centrifuges typically cost between $10,000 and $15,000, depending on the included rotors and accessories. Used units are available in the range of $5,000 to $8,000, depending on condition and rotor configuration.
