The Eppendorf Centrifuge 5417 R is a refrigerated high-speed microcentrifuge designed for laboratory sample separation using small-volume microcentrifuge tubes. The photographed unit is clearly identified as Eppendorf Centrifuge 5417 R and features the original front control panel with temperature, speed and time controls, FAST COOL, SHORT, SOFT and START/STOP functions.

The 5417 R is a refrigerated benchtop microcentrifuge capable of speeds up to 16,400 rpm and maximum centrifugal force of approximately 25,000 × g, depending on the installed rotor. Its refrigeration system provides a temperature-control range of approximately −9 °C to +40 °C. The standard configuration can accommodate up to 30 × 1.5/2.0 mL tubes.

This particular unit is being offered as a non-working unit for parts or repair, rather than as a tested working centrifuge. Individual components may be useful for repairing another 5417 R, for spare-parts recovery, or for technical refurbishment.

Applications

The Eppendorf 5417 R was designed for high-speed refrigerated centrifugation in research, biotechnology, medical and laboratory environments. Its original applications include microcentrifugation of biological samples, nucleic-acid preparation, precipitation and other small-volume sample-processing workflows.

As a parts/repair unit, the equipment may be useful to laboratories, service engineers, equipment refurbishers and users looking for compatible replacement components. Potentially reusable components include the control panel, display assembly, lid components, refrigeration components, housing parts, electronics, motor/drive components and other model-specific hardware, subject to individual inspection.

Technical Specifications

Published Eppendorf documentation lists a maximum speed of 16,400 rpm, maximum RCF of 25,000 × g, temperature control from −9 °C to +40 °C, and a maximum load of 30 × 2.0 mL tubes.

The 5417 R was available with multiple rotor configurations. For example, the standard F-45-30-11 rotor supports 30 × 1.5/2.0 mL tubes at up to 14,000 rpm, while the 24-position F-45-24-11 configuration can reach 16,400 rpm and 25,000 × g. The rotor supplied with this photographed unit is not confirmed.

Benefits of Refurbished Laboratory Equipment

A non-working laboratory instrument can still have significant value when its individual components are compatible with other instruments of the same model or product family. The Eppendorf 5417 R contains specialized mechanical, electronic and refrigeration components that may be useful for repair, refurbishment or spare-parts recovery.

This unit can therefore be suitable for laboratory equipment service providers, repair technicians, refurbishment companies and users maintaining existing Eppendorf 5417 R centrifuges. Individual components should be tested and inspected before being reused.

Additional Information

This unit is not being offered as a working centrifuge. It is being sold as-is for parts or repair. The operational condition of the motor, compressor, refrigeration system, electronics, display, lid lock, rotor and other internal components should be independently evaluated.

The rotor is not clearly visible in the photograph, so a rotor, rotor lid or specific rotor accessories should not be assumed to be included unless separately confirmed. Any component intended for centrifuge operation must be inspected for damage and verified against the manufacturer's specifications before use.
