Devices

The Eppendorf 5804 R centrifuge is a refrigerated laboratory centrifuge designed for medium-volume applications in molecular biology. It allows processing of samples in tubes up to 250 mL and offers a wide variety of rotors and adapters to enhance versatility. The maximum capacity is 4 × 250 mL, with a maximum relative centrifugal force (RCF) of 20,913 × g and speeds up to 14,000 revolutions per minute.

The cooling temperature range is from –9 °C to 40 °C, ensuring stability of temperature-sensitive samples during centrifugation. The FastTemp function enables rapid pre-cooling, and the ECO feature automatically powers down the device after 8 hours of inactivity to save energy and prolong compressor life. The device also features Dynamic Compressor Control (DCC) for optimized cooling performance. The 5804 R centrifuge is intended for use by qualified professionals in laboratory environments and meets relevant safety standards.

This device is an in vitro diagnostic medical device (IVD) Class A under Regulation (EU) 2017/746 (IVDR).
