Centrifuge 5430 and 5430 R combine the best features of a microcentrifuge (small footprint) and multipurpose centrifuge (versatility) in one instrument. The 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
Simple and safe handling
Aerosol-tight Eppendorf QuickLock rotors close with just one quarter of a turn. This not only saves you time during everyday use; it also takes strain off your wrist.
Compact footprint
The compressor at the back of the Centrifuge 5430 R, the refrigerated version of Centrifuge 5430, is compact and has a low access height.
Advanced operating system
Centrifuges 5430 and 5430 R come with an advanced operating system, making them more energy efficient due to the smart ECO shut-off and FastTemp pre-cooling functions. They each have a menu-driven, multilingual operation menu with a large backlit display that allows you to save up to 99 user-defined programs and five program keys for easy access to routine programs.
In addition to the standard FastTemp pre-cooling program, Eppendorf high-speed centrifuge Centrifuge 5430 R features the unique software option called FastTemp pro®. The FastTemp pro function is available for fast automated pre-cooling based on pre-programmable times and dates. FastTemp pro can be set to a specific date or as a repetitive event on specified days of the week. Simply turn the centrifuge into standby mode when you leave your lab and let FastTemp pro take care of pre-cooling in the morning. This not only makes operation easy; it also saves you up to 90 % of energy overnight.
The ECO shut-off function saves you up to 88 % energy overnight by deactivating the compressor after 1, 2, 4 or 8 hours of inactivity to extend compressor life. This function can be deactivated in the menu settings.
