The 5430 family with the Centrifuge 5430 and 5430 R combines 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 50mL conical tubes.
