Eppendorf 5810 Benchtop Laboratory Centrifuge

Eppendorf Centrifuge 5810 benchtop laboratory centrifuge, a non-refrigerated general purpose unit for tubes, bottles and plates in research and QC labs. The nameplate on the rear of the housing identifies it as Type 5810, serial number 5810IM867461, rated 14,000 rpm maximum speed, 27,450 J kinetic energy and 1.2 g/mL maximum sample density, built by Eppendorf AG in Hamburg, Germany. The unit is operated from the front membrane keypad with a digital display and dedicated prog, speed (rpm/rcf), time (min/sec), short-spin and start/stop keys, plus up/down arrows, a motorized lid open key and selectable acceleration and braking ramps. Electrical rating from the nameplate is 120 V, 50/60 Hz, 11 A, 950 W, single phase, with a standard line cord; the unit carries cULus and FCC markings. Photos show the rotor chamber fitted with an Eppendorf S-4-104 four-place swing-bucket rotor (rated max 3,900 rpm) with round buckets and yellow-lidded tube adapters installed. A separate Eppendorf A-2-2-DWP two-place swing rotor for deep-well plates (rated max 3,700 rpm) is also pictured with the unit. The centrifuge was photographed in place on a laboratory bench at a biopharmaceutical facility and the power/standby indicator is illuminated in the photos. No information on hours, service history or calibration status is available; condition should be judged from the photographs.
