Eppendorf Centrifuge 5811 R without Rotor

The refrigerated Centrifuge 5811 R is a 3L benchtop system for labs where centrifugation supports many workflows in parallel. Tubes in the morning, plates in the afternoon, bottles for the next experiment, the Centrifuge 5811 R brings this capacity together in one reliable instrument. It combines broad rotor flexibility, high capacity, and sustainable cooling technology in a compact footprint that fits into virtually any lab. Make Centrifuge 5811 R the backbone of your discovery!

In shared labs, core facilities, and biotech or pharma environments, one centrifuge often serves many users and applications. Centrifuge 5811 R is designed for exactly this setting. With up to 3L capacity and speeds up to 20,913 x g (14,000 rpm), it covers routine centrifugation of tubes, bottles, and plates in one benchtop instrument – from cell pellets and bacteria to nucleic acid and protein preparations or clinical samples.

The cooling system uses propane (R290) with a low global warming potential (GWP = 3), delivering high energy efficiency and meeting evolving environmental standards, while providing reliable temperature control from −9 °C to +40 °C. ECO shut‑off and an aerodynamic bucket design further support energy‑conscious lab operation.
