Why choose a refrigerated centrifuge?
Refrigerated centrifuges are used when temperature-sensitive samples must remain protected during centrifugation. Active cooling minimizes heat generation, helping preserve biomolecules, proteins, DNA, RNA and other sensitive samples during laboratory workflows.
- Protection of temperature-sensitive samples
- Suitable for molecular biology and life science workflows
- Support for high-throughput laboratory applications
- Available high-speed refrigerated models
- Support for swing-out and fixed-angle rotors
- Suitable for a wide range of sample types and volumes

FAQ Ohaus Frontier 5000 refrigerated centrifuges
Why is cooling important during centrifugation?
Cooling prevents temperature-sensitive samples from heating during centrifugation and helps maintain the stability of biomolecules, proteins and biological materials.
Which laboratories use refrigerated centrifuges?
Refrigerated centrifuges are used in biotechnology facilities, pharmaceutical laboratories, clinical laboratories, universities and molecular biology research environments.
What is the difference between a standard and refrigerated centrifuge?
A refrigerated centrifuge features active temperature control to minimize heat generation during centrifugation, while standard centrifuges do not include active cooling.
