核心洞察
Eppendorf (搜索) announced the launch of the Centrifuge 5811 R, a refrigerated multipurpose benchtop centrifuge building on the Centrifuge 5810 R platform.
The instrument uses R290 propane refrigerant with a global warming potential of 0.02 and ozone depletion potential of 0 to support laboratory sustainability goals.
With up to 3 L capacity and speeds reaching 20,913 x g (14,000 rpm), it supports cell harvesting, nucleic acid and protein purification, and PBMC isolation.
Eppendorf (搜索), a leading international life science company that develops, manufactures, and distributes instruments, consumables, and services for laboratories worldwide, has announced the launch of the Centrifuge 5811 R, a refrigerated, multipurpose benchtop centrifuge designed to support a wide range of laboratory workflows. The new instrument builds on the proven performance and versatility of the Centrifuge 5810 R, which has been used in laboratories around the world for many decades.
The Centrifuge 5811 R combines a new design and refreshed user interface with a significant update to its cooling technology, retaining the dependable performance and versatility laboratories value while adding selected new features for efficient, repeatable operation.
Sustainable cooling technology
A key feature of the Centrifuge 5811 R is its use of R290 propane as a refrigerant. With a global warming potential of 0.02 and an ozone depletion potential of 0, this cooling technology can support laboratory sustainability goals. Additional energy-saving features include ECO shut-off, energy-efficient FastTemp, and aerodynamic bucket designs, all of which help reduce power use during operation.
"The refrigerated Centrifuge 5811 R is a benchtop system for labs where a single centrifuge needs to support many workflows in parallel," said Dr. Tim Schommarzt, Global Marketing Manager, Eppendorf (搜索) Group. "Tubes in the morning, plates in the afternoon, bottles for the next experiment – the Centrifuge 5811 R brings this capacity together in one reliable instrument. It combines broad rotor flexibility, high capacity, and sustainable cooling technology in a compact footprint that fits into virtually any lab."
Performance and versatility
With a capacity of up to 3 L and speeds of up to 20,913 x g (14,000 rpm), the Centrifuge 5811 R supports a wide range of vessel types within a single benchtop footprint. Its portfolio includes 15 rotors and a broad selection of adapters. Swing-bucket and fixed-angle rotors, together with mixed bucket loading, allow users to combine different formats in one run, making it easier to adapt when vessels, applications, or protocols change.
The centrifuge supports applications including the harvesting and processing of cells, bacteria, yeast, algae, and other microorganisms. It can also be used for nucleic acid and protein purification, as well as peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) isolation.
Operational features
The Centrifuge 5811 R offers refrigerated operation from -9 °C to +40 °C to protect temperature-sensitive samples. An intuitive control panel with a program key and up to 35 user programs enables quick, repeatable setup. Additional design features include a low access height and Soft Touch Lid for comfortable loading, unloading, and closing, as well as Eppendorf (搜索) QuickLock® rotor lids and caps for fast and safe rotor handling. The instrument also operates quietly to support a focused working environment.
Transition and compatibility
The Centrifuge 5811 R is compatible with 16 of the 17 existing Centrifuge 5810 R rotors. This compatibility allows laboratories to continue using most of their existing rotor portfolio and supports a straightforward transition to the updated instrument. Different bundles are available to support a range of laboratory requirements, and together with its broad rotor flexibility, high capacity, reliable performance, and competitive positioning, the Centrifuge 5811 R offers high value for laboratories investing in a dependable new centrifuge.
