2.3 Features
The compact and easy-to-use Centrifuge 5418 / 5418 R has a capacity of 18 x 2 ml and reaches a maximum
of 16,873 x g / 14,000 rpm. The microcentrifuge is equipped with an aerosol-tight standard rotor for
centrifugation of the following tubes:
• Micro test tubes (0.2 to 2.0 ml)
• Microtainers (0.6 ml)
• Spin columns (1.5/2.0 ml)
The Centrifuge 5418 R has an additional temperature control function for centrifugation between 0°C and
+40°C. The
fast temp function can be used to start a temperature control run without samples to adjust the
rotor chamber incl. rotor and adapters quickly to the set target temperature.
2.4 Rotor FA-45-18-11
Before using tubes, observe the manufacturer's recommended specifications on resistance to
centrifugation (max. g-force).
(1) Maximum load per rotor bore for adapter + tube + contents.
(2) According to DIN 58 970 (device version: 230 V, 50 to 60 Hz).
(3) Aerosol tightness tested and certified by the Centre of Emergency Preparedness and Response, Health
