Eppendorf AG (Hamburg, Germany) has introduced a new centrifuge designed to increase efficiency in the laboratory, Centrifuge 5910 Ri, a successor to the company’s popular Centrifuge 5910 R.

The Centrifuge 5910 Ri has been the flagship of Eppendorf multipurpose centrifuge portfolio that has been providing customers worldwide with outstanding versatility and ease of use since its launch in 2018. With the introduction of Centrifuge 5910 Ri, Eppendorf now offers scientists advanced features to simplify and accelerate the centrifugation steps of their workflow. An innovative touchscreen interface allows for quick setting of desired parameters while three levels of user management and new documentation options provide enhanced security and traceability. The optional connection to the new VisioNize Digital Lab Suite enables remote monitoring of the device, notification of alarms and events, and convenient access to important documents such as certificates and operating manuals.

A large selection of rotors and adapters facilitates a wide range of applications, while the unique Universal rotor saves time by allowing the centrifugation of, for example, 50 mL conical tubes, plates and 250 mL bottles without the need to change the rotor, rotor buckets or adapters. High capacity and performance combined with an intuitive user interface for fast, error-free operation make the new Eppendorf Centrifuge 5910 Ri well-equipped to meet the needs of modern labs now and into the future.
