Eppendorf - Eppendorf 5420 Centrifuge

This listing is for the Eppendorf Centrifuge 5420. The unit is in full working condition and is ready for immediate use. The Eppendorf 5420 is a non-refrigerated microcentrifuge designed for routine molecular biology workflows—especially spin‑column-based DNA/RNA purification, gel extraction, and PCR prep. It offers outstanding performance while saving precious bench space. Compact footprint measures just 24 × 35 × 22 cm (W × D × H), or approximately 9.4 × 13.8 × 8.7 in., making it ideal for crowded lab benches. High-speed performance reaches up to 15,060 rpm, generating a maximum relative centrifugal force (RCF) of 21,300 × g. Large capacity with flexibility comes standard with an aerosol‑tight rotor accommodating 24 × 1.5/2.0 mL tubes. Optional adapters support 0.2, 0.4, 0.5 mL tubes, 0.6 mL BD Microtainers, as well as a rotor for 32 × 0.2 mL PCR tubes or four 8‑strip PCR sets. Features ergonomic controls with soft‑touch lid closure, automatic lid opening at the end of runs, one‑push short‑spin key, easy‑clean keypad and large, bright LCD display. Low noise operation at < 56 dB(A) with aerosol‑tight rotor ensuring safe handling of hazardous or sensitive samples. Run timer programmable from 10 seconds up to 9 hours, 59 minutes, with continuous run mode. Typical applications include spin‑column based DNA/RNA purification, gel extraction and cleanup workflows, preparation for PCR reactions, and handling of pathogenic or hazardous samples safely due to aerosol containment.
