Eppendorf Centrifuge 5702/ 5702 R/5702 RH – Low-Speed Centrifuge
Eppendorf Centrifuge 5702 / 5702 R / 5702 RH – Low-Speed Centrifuge Series
The Eppendorf Centrifuge 5702 family is a compact and versatile series of low-speed centrifuges designed to meet the specific needs of clinical research and cell culture laboratories with low to mid sample throughput. These centrifuges combine efficient functionality with a small footprint, allowing them to easily fit on any laboratory bench while maintaining a quiet operating environment that promotes better working conditions.
Three models are available in the 5702 family to meet various application needs:
- Centrifuge 5702 – standard model for routine low-speed applications.
- Centrifuge 5702 R – refrigerated version for processing heat-sensitive samples.
- Centrifuge 5702 RH – both refrigerated and heated, ideal for applications involving living cells or temperature-sensitive workflows.
The series offers six interchangeable rotor options to accommodate a wide variety of tube types and capacities.
