Description

Frontier FC5916R Refrigerated Centrifuge to Large-Volume, High-Speed Refrigerated Performance for High-Throughput Laboratory Workflows.

• The Frontier FC5916R is a high-capacity refrigerated centrifuge designed for laboratories that require large-volume sample processing combined with precise temperature control and robust, reliable performance.
• With a maximum capacity of 4 x 750 mL and a maximum relative centrifuge force of 26,331 x g across a speed range of 200 to 16,000 rpm, the FC5916R delivers exceptional throughput for bulk sample workflows in research, industrial, and clinical laboratory environments.
• Built on the proven Frontier 5000 Multi-Pro platform and manufactured in Germany, the FC5916R combines high-volume centrifugation capability with intelligent automation, comprehensive safety features, and the durability expected from a premium laboratory instrument.
• The FC5916R is an integral part of the Frontier 5000 Multi-Pro series - a modular, scalable centrifugation platform designed for maximum adaptability.
• Compatible with a broad range of rotors and accessories, the system can be tailored to suit different tube types, sizes, and sample volumes across the full Frontier 5000 lineup of 11 models, spanning capacities from 0.2 mL to 4 x 1000 mL.
• The FC5916R's 4 x 750 mL capacity positions it as a high-volume workhorse, ideal for bulk biological processing, large-scale culture work, and high-throughput clinical or industrial applications where maximizing per-run sample volume is a priority.
• Supported applications include centrifugal separation, general sample preparation, cell pelleting, protein separation, nucleic acid separation, cell concentrating, chemical separation, diagnostics, environmental sample preparation, and blood sample processing - covering the full spectrum of laboratory centrifugation requirements.
• Despite its large-format capability, the FC5916R is engineered for ease of use.
• A two-line backlit LCD display provides simultaneous visibility of multiple run parameters, reducing the need to navigate between screens and keeping critical information accessible at a glance during both setup and operation.
• Automatic rotor recognition detects the installed rotor and configures compatible operating parameters without any manual input, streamLining transitions between different rotors and workflow types while minimizing the risk of operator error.
• Ten selectable acceleration and deceleration rates give users precise control over sample handling, accommodating everything from forceful bulk pelleting to gentle deceleration profiles for fragile biological preparations.
• Up to 99 programs can be stored and recalled instantly, enabling consistent and repeatable execution of established protocols across high-volume processing environments.
• A quick spin function is also available for immediate short-duration centrifugation without the need for full parameter entry.
• The FC5916R reflects the high standards of German engineering, constructed from premium-quality components selected for reliability and long-term performance under demanding laboratory conditions.
• The centrifuge chamber is built from corrosion-resistant stainless steel, providing robust resistance to the aggressive reagents, solvents, and cleaning agents routinely encountered in high-throughput laboratory and industrial settings.
• The polycarbonate/ABS plastic lid combines structural strength with clear visibility into the rotor chamber.
• At 118 kg, the FC5916R provides the substantial, vibration-dampening mass necessary for stable, consistent performance during high-speed large-volume centrifugation.
• This combination of materials, engineering precision, and build quality ensures that the FC5916R will deliver reliable results day after day, even under sustained, intensive use.
• Precise temperature control throughout the centrifugation run is a defining strength of the FC5916R.
• The CFC-free refrigeration system, utilizing the environmentally responsible R290 refrigerant with an 85 g charge, is capable of cooling from room temperature to 4°C in under 10 min., enabling rapid thermal stabilization of large sample volumes before centrifugation begins.
• The operating temperature range spans -20°C to +40°C (-4°F to +104°F), and sample temperature is continuously displayed throughout the run, providing real-time thermal monitoring that is essential when processing temperature-sensitive biological materials such as cell suspensions, blood products, enzymes, and protein preparations.
• The unit is rated for ambient operating conditions of 5°C to 35°C at up to 80% relative humidity, non-condensing, accommodating a wide range of laboratory environments.
• The FC5916R is equipped with a full suite of safety systems befitting a high-capacity, high-speed centrifuge.
• A motor-driven lid-locking mechanism ensures the chamber remains securely sealed throughout the run and only releases once the rotor has come to a complete and safe stop.
• Dual imbalance sensing provides continuous real-time monitoring of rotor balance, detecting and immediately responding to load irregularities before they can cause damage to the instrument or compromise sample integrity.
• Over-speed protection enforces absolute rotor speed limits as a final operational safeguard.
• Operating at ≤63 ±2 dB(A), the FC5916R maintains an acceptable noise profile for shared or open-plan laboratory environments despite its 1,750 W power output.
• An AC adapter is included.
• CE and FCC certifications confirm full compliance with international safety and electromagnetic compatibility standards.
• The FC5916R has a footprint of 670 mm (W) x 730 mm (D) x 390 mm (H) - 26.4 in x 28.7 in x 15.4 in - a relatively low-profile design that makes benchtop installation practical even in laboratories where vertical clearance is limited.
• Manufactured in Germany and designed for 120 V operation, the FC5916R is an authoritative large-volume refrigerated centrifuge solution for laboratories that demand high throughput, precise temperature management, and the long-term reliability of German-engineered construction - all within a well-considered, space-efficient benchtop form factor.
