As a response to great customer demand, we designed a new centrifuge that can quickly and safely carry out routine centrifugation in small, medical and cell culture labs. The result is the Centrifuge 5702, and the reaction of our customers to this centrifuge has encouraged us to continue along this path.
With the refrigerated Centrifuge 5702 R and the precise temperature control provided by the Centrifuge 5702 RH, there are now two more modern centrifuges available in this application area. All rotors used in the Centrifuge 5702 can also be used here, including the versatile A-4-38 swing-bucket rotor, which can centrifuge up to four 85 ml tubes in aerosol-tight round buckets at almost 3,000 x g. If increased capacity is required, the A-4-38 can also be used with rectangular buckets and a variety of adapters (e.g. for 24 x 15 ml glass tubes). The fixed-angle rotor F-35-30-17 is available in two versions with a capacity of up to 30 x 15 ml.
The simple A-8-17 swing-bucket rotor for 15 ml tubes (Falcon® tubes and test tubes) rounds off the program. The Centrifuge 5702 R, just like all refrigerated centrifuges from Eppendorf, also offers the proven stand-by refrigeration and the "fast-temp" special function. Temperatures between -9°C and +40°C can be quickly reached in this way. The Centrifuge 5702 RH is unique in its temperature control capacity. It is the first centrifuge from Eppendorf that can consistently maintain temperatures higher than room temperature. Temperature-sensitive cells or cell cultures can be centrifuged under defined conditions, especially in the temperature range around 37°C.
The low access height and the slim silhouette familiar from the Centrifuge 5702 have also been maintained for the Centrifuges 5702 R and 5702 RH, because the cooling aggregate has been placed on the back side of the device. All three 5702 models are uncommonly versatile, despite the very small dimensions, and can process greater volumes than comparable models.
All control elements have been clearly designed in the usual attractive Eppendorf fashion. The modern design and the proven blue dials are the standard for the Centrifuge 5702, the refrigerated 5702 R version and the temperature control model 5702 RH.
For the Centrifuges 5702 R and 5702 RH, two program keys illuminated with blue light when activated provide additional functions. They should provide the user with the possibility to save the parameters of two standard centrifugation processes. By activating a SOFT function with shorter startup and braking times, the yields can be increased for special blood, urine or cell culture centrifugation. In addition, the Centrifuges 5702 R and 5702 RH offer an "at set rpm" function. When this is activated, the device only begins the countdown for the set run time when the desired rotational speed has been reached, thus simplifying the processing of exact routine protocols. All functions are presented clearly in the display with the help of pictograms.
As with the Centrifuge 5702, permanent fixation of the settings to prevent unintentional adjustment is also possible here.
With the presented abilities of the Centrifuge 5702, the Centrifuge 5702 R and the new Centrifuge 5702 RH, Eppendorf takes another big step into the future of nearly all labs, whether in the areas of clinical or of biotechnological routine.
