This month's Spotlight on Sustainability falls on the Eppendorf 5425 Non-Refrigerated Centrifuge, a powerful centrifuge that delivers short runs of up to 12 minutes with whisper-quiet operation. This high-performance centrifuge has been recognised for its sustainable product design and distribution, earning three sustainability attributes.
Building on the legacy of the Eppendorf 5424 Centrifuge, the new 5425 model represents the next evolution in Eppendorf’s benchtop centrifuge line. These upgraded systems integrate enhanced rotor designs for improved balance and energy efficiency, intuitive digital interfaces with customisable programming, and advanced safety features that protect both the user and sensitive biological materials. The result is a centrifuge that not only performs at peak precision but also enhances day-to-day workflow and user comfort.
Key features of Eppendorf 5425 Non-Refrigerated Centrifuge:
- Aerosol-tight Eppendorf QuickLock® lids for simple and safe handling
- Outstanding software features (e.g. adjustable acceleration and braking ramps, 3 program buttons (only Centrifuge 5425), short function without continuous pressing of the key)
- Extended rotor program (e.g. 5.0mL rotor, swing-bucket rotor for PCR strips)
- OptiBowl® design for quiet operation, even without a rotor lid
- Soft-touch one-finger lid closure for ergonomic operation
- Max. rotor capacity: 10 x 5.0mL vessels
- Max. speed: 21300x g (15060rpm)
