Another advantage is that all rotors within the 5702 line have been designed for interchangeability.
Large-scale tasks, compact solution
The Centrifuge Model 5702, with its space-saving (12.5 × 16 in) footprint and innovative design, can accommodate a remarkable 30 × 15 mL round-bottom tubes or 20 ×15 mL conical tubes. Your choice of fixed-angle or swing-bucket rotors provides flexibility for low-speed centrifugation of sensitive cells and blood. The A-4-38 Swing-bucket Rotor can spin up to four 85 mL tubes in aerosol-tight buckets at rcf up to 3,000 × g. A variety of adapters accept all common standard, conical and blood collection tubes. For applications requiring higher tube capacity, rectangular buckets for up to 24 ×15 mL glass tubes can be used. Two versions of the F-35-30-17 Fixed-angle Rotor are available for a capacity of up to 30 ×15 ml. A simple, eight-place swing-bucket rotor is also available for 15 mL conical tubes.

Convenient features for easy operation.
State-of-the-art, yet simple, this centrifuge is easy to operate. The motorised “soft-touch” lid makes loading and closing effortless. The time and speed knobs allow you to set and adjust these parameters quickly and easily: speed can be set in rpm or rcf (g-force), eliminating the need for tedious calculations; and settings can be changed during a run. You can also lock your settings to protect them against unintentional adjustment.
Once the parameters are set, simply press the time knob to start your pre-programmed run. When complete, an audible signal at the end of the run alerts you to remove your sensitive samples; the motorised lid unlocks automatically for easy, one-handed access.

Yes, the Centrifuge 5702 may be operated in the cooling room. When moving the centrifuge from the cooling room to a normal lab room, the centrifuge must either run warm for half an hour in the cooling room or warm up for at least 3 hours in the lab room without being connected to the power supply. This is to avoid damage caused by condensation.
No, the Centrifuge 5702 R must not be operated in the cooling room. To avoid damage caused by condensation, the centrifuge should be operated in a normal lab room. To ensure optimum operation of the centrifuge, the ambient temperature should be between 10 °C and 40 °C. At temperatures below 18 °C, a warming-up time of approx. 1 hr. is required to ensure faultless operation.
First, pull the plug and wait until the rotor comes to a standstill (can take up to 5 minutes!). The emergency lid release is located on the bottom of the device: a small, white plastic button is located in the base plate in front of the front right device foot. Remove this and pull the cord vertically downwards. The lid will open. Please ensure that the cord retracts completely into the housing when you later close the lid. Press the plastic button back into the base plate.
The minimum selectable speed is 100 rpm. It can be increased in increments of 100. The g-forces displayed are only approximations. The exact values can be calculated for the different adapters. Please bear in mind that a setting of 100 rpm equals a relative centrifugal force of 1.5 ×g. The 100 ×g displayed is only reached at a rotational speed of 800 rpm.
Yes, this is possible. Pressing the START/STOP key for longer than 2 s with the centrifuge lid open initiates the switch to the "at set rpm" mode, as symbolized by a pictogram. To exit the "at set rpm" mode again, press the START/STOP key again for longer than 2 s with the centrifuge lid open, until the pictogram appears.
Yes. If the OPEN key is pressed for longer than 2 s while the centrifuge lid is open, either “b on“ (signal tone on) or “b of“ (signal tone off) will appear. With the Centrifuges 5702 R / 5702 RH, a pictogram on the display indicates that the signal tone is switched on.
Adjustments to the time, rotational speed and temperature (5702 R / 5702 RH only) can be made while the centrifuge is running. To do this, press the SHORT key until the display begins to flash. You can now set the new centrifugation parameters using the TIME and SPEED dials and the TEMP keys. The new centrifugation parameters are taken over after 5 s.
Yes, with the Centrifuges 5702 / 5702 R / 5702 RH it is possible to fix the desired settings. To do this, press the SHORT and the OPEN keys simultaneously for at least 5 s while the centrifuge lid is open. In this way, the dial adjustment is deactivated and "lo on" will appear on the display of the Centrifuge 5702. On the display of the Centrifuges 5702 R / 5702 RH, the fixed setting of the centrifugation parameters will be indicated by an additional pictogram. The set values can now no longer be adjusted, irrespective of whether the centrifuge is running or not. In order to reactivate the dial adjustment, press the SHORT and OPEN keys again for 5 s. "lo of" will appear on the display of the Centrifuge 5702, and the pictogram on the display of the Centrifuges 5702 R / 5702 RH will change. The parameters can now be adjusted again.
This is only possible when the centrifuge is not running. First, set the desired program parameters using the TIME and SPEED dials and the TEMP arrow keys. The "at set rpm" function and the slower acceleration and braking ramps can also be saved in the fixed programs, if required. Keep the PROG 1 or PROG 2 key pressed for 2 s until the program key stops flashing and glows continuously. A short signal tone will sound. The program has been saved.
Yes, when working with Ficoll density gradients or other sensitive applications (e.g. certain blood and urea centrifugations), slower acceleration and braking ramps can be set for the Centrifuge 5702 / 5702 R / 5702 RH. This allows the centrifuge to accelerate and decelerate smoothly and ensures optimum centrifugation results. Press the SHORT key for more than 5 s while the centrifuge lid is open. The writing on the display changes from "br on" (brake on) to "br OF" (brake off), or "soft" is displayed (5702 R, 5702 RH). The slower acceleration and braking ramps are now activated. If the SHORT key is pressed for less than 5 s while the centrifuge lid is open, the current state is displayed.
The centrifuge has a fixed-angle rotor for 1.5/ 2.0 mL micro test tubes. With the help of adapters, tubes with a volume of 0.2 - 0.6 mL can also be used. A rotor for microplates, however, is not available.
A maximum of 20 ×15 mL conical tubes can be centrifuged in the fixed-angle rotor F-35-30-17. The maximum capacity of the swing-bucket rotor A-4-38 is 8 ×15 mL conical tubes. Aerosol-tight centrifugation is only possible with 4 ×15 mL conical tubes in the swing-bucket rotor.
Yes, there are aerosol-tight caps available for the round buckets of the rotor A-4-38. These caps are certified according to Porton Down. All round bucket adapters, except for the adapter 5702 723.002, can be used for aerosol-tight centrifugation. Instead of the adapter 5702 723.002 for two 15 mL Falcon tubes each, the adapter 5702 732.001 for one 15 mL Falcon tube is available for aerosol-tight centrifugation.
Rotors, buckets, sleeves and adapters should be cleaned on a monthly basis with a neutral detergent in order to prevent material changes due to residues of the material being centrifuged. Please do not use sodium hypochlorite or chlorous or oxidizing disinfectants and detergents under any circumstances. Disinfection with glutaraldehyde solution is possible. We recommend Cidex<sup>®</sup> activated glutaraldehyde solution (<sup>®</sup>: Johnson & Johnson). Plastic adapters and rubber inlays are dishwasher safe.
All rotors, buckets, adapters, sleeves and caps are autoclavable for 20 min. at 121°C. The rotors A-4-38 and F-35-30-17 as well as the affiliated buckets and sleeves can even be autoclaved for 2 hrs. at 140°C and 3 bar.
The rcf (g-force) shown on the display is standardized for 15 mL Falcon tubes (rotor: A-4-38). The rcf to be attained at maximum speed for the various adapters are listed in the operating manual. In order to determine a specific rcf for a specific adapter, use the following formula according to DIN 58970:<br />rcf = 1.118 · 10-5 · n2 · rmax<br />n: rotational speed in rpm<br />rmax: max. centrifugation radius in cm
