The Eppendorf Centrifuge 5414 is a tabletop centrifuge that combines high speed with a compact design. Its robust construction and low-maintenance design make it an ideal choice for laboratories with limited space. With a maximum speed of 14,000 rpm and a range of rotor options, the Centrifuge 5414 can handle a wide variety of samples, from microcentrifuge tubes to PCR strips.

Always remember: balance your rotor, replace carbon brushes every 500 hours, and never force the lid open. By following the original instructions, this vintage centrifuge can still spin effectively at 16,000 x g for decades to come.

The manual stresses symmetrical loading above all else.
