The Eppendorf 5402 centrifuge is a popular choice among laboratory professionals due to its reliability, flexibility, and user-friendly interface. It is designed to handle a wide range of centrifugation applications, including microcentrifugation, with a maximum speed of 14,000 rpm and a variety of rotor options for different tube sizes and types. Turn the timer knob to the desired duration,
Because the unit is refrigerated, ice can build up inside the rotor chamber over time. Leave the main lid open overnight with the power turned off to allow ice to melt. Wipe the chamber dry with a lint-free cloth.
Turn the timer knob to the desired duration, or set it to "Hold" for manual timing. Running a Cycle Load samples and secure the rotor lid.
First, a brief history. The Eppendorf 5402 was introduced as a non-refrigerated, variable-speed benchtop centrifuge designed for spinning microcentrifuge tubes (1.5–2.0 mL) and PCR strips. Unlike its refrigerated sibling (the 5403), the 5402 relies on ambient air cooling.
