Eppendorf 5402 is a classic refrigerated microcentrifuge designed for temperature-sensitive sample processing in laboratory environments. While it is a legacy model, its core operational and maintenance principles remain consistent with current Eppendorf safety standards. Core Specifications Speed Range: 14,000 RPM (approx. 16,000 x g) adjustable in 100 RPM increments. Temperature Control: Adjustable from -9°C to 40°C Digital control from 1 to 99 minutes plus a momentary "Short Spin" button for brief cycles. Typically accommodates up to 18 x 1.5/2.0 mL tubes depending on the rotor used. GMI - Trusted Laboratory Solutions Operating Instructions Lid Access: Ensure the centrifuge is plugged in and the power switch is to disengage the electronic lid lock. Rotor Loading: Always load the rotor symmetrically After 1,000 hours of runtime, the refrigeration unit
