The Eppendorf 5920R Refrigerated Benchtop Centrifuge delivers extraordinarily high capacity in a very compact and ergonomic product design. It has similar dimensions as competing refrigerated 3 Liter models and yet features a superior capacity of up to 4 × 1,000 mL standard bottles, 28 × PCR plates or 196 × 13 mm round-bottom tubes, or 52 × 50 mL conical tubes thus making it the ideal instrument for high-throughput applications.
Eppendorf 5920R Refrigerated Benchtop Centrifuge features
Various rotors required to accommodate all these capacities. See the chart below for the capacity of the included rotor and buckets.
Eppendorf developed the Dynamic Compressor Control (DCC). Unlike other compressors which switch back and forth between 0 % and 100 % performance output, DCC allows for a constant and smooth temperature regulation. This results in a precise cooling performance and the set temperature is kept stable at all times.

For ergonomic lid operation Eppendorf designed the soft-touch lid closure system. There is no need to exert unnecessary force when closing the centrifuge lid. In combination with a low opening height, you can close the centrifuge with ease.
Centrifuge 5920 R features an advanced operation system that comes with an easy-to-use interface to make the operation intuitive and more enjoyable. The multilingual operation menu includes 5 program keys for easy access to your routine programs.
The user is at the center of all our efforts and optimization measures. Centrifuge 5920 R has been engineered to be extremely quiet and handling is convenient. Eppendorf has taken all the measurements to make everyday work more enjoyable.
Testing
Most of our equipment is used and reconditioned. Our technicians test the performance of all centrifuges and make sure the rotating assembly is properly balanced; the bearings, seals and gaskets on the spindle assembly are in good shape; and the controls work properly.
If the centrifuge is refrigerated, we also test to make sure that the machine reaches and hold temperature properly. All tolerances are measured and the exterior and interior of all units are fully cleaned. If the unit is being purchased with a rotor, we test the rotor/centrifuge combination together.
Pictures
The photos above are representative. Please bear in mind that the equipment shown is currently in storage in our warehouse and that in addition to testing each machine we will clean all the equipment thoroughly prior to shipment.
We often have multiple units of each model in stock and sometimes we're unable to feature photos of every single unit. At your request, we can provide photos of the equipment in your order after it has been tested and cleaned.

FAQ
Does the equipment come with a warranty?
Yes, all equipment from American Instrument Exchange comes with a warranty. Used/reconditioned/refurbished equipment is tested to make sure it operates to the manufacturer’s specifications and comes with a 90-day warranty (unless otherwise noted). New equipment comes with a warranty from the manufacturer.
How do you test and recondition the equipment?
Testing requirements vary across all the equipment categories we sell. Temperature controlled units are tested with NIST traceable probes and data loggers. Gaskets, external housing, glass, handles, controls and control screens are all thoroughly inspected for integrity and functionality. We test all equipment using the manufacturer's parameters and specifications to confirm that the unit operates properly. While we may not be able to test for specific analytical applications we do our best to simulate the conditions under which the equipment will be used in your lab. If you have particular testing requirements please let us know and we’ll work with you to make sure these are addressed during testing.
How do products ship from American Instrument Exchange?
We can ship products both nationally and internationally using a well-established network of transporters. Smaller items will ship via UPS. Larger equipment will be palletized and shipped either LTL or air-ride, depending on the specific equipment and/or delivery requirements. In many cases we can offer inside delivery. Customers are also welcome to make pick-up arrangements using their own preferred carrier.
All shipments are FOB Haverhill, MA. American Instrument Exchange will take reasonable steps to protect the equipment during shipment and the equipment will be fully insured. The customer will be charged for all shipping and handling charges, and fees incurred in the process of delivering the order.
For local customers in and around New England we can offer shipping and delivery using a local moving company trained by our staff to handle and deliver lab equipment. Our local movers can provide either standard dock-to-dock delivery or bring the equipment into your lab and set it in place.
Prior to signing the POD (Proof of Delivery), you are responsible for inspecting the goods for any damage. You MUST note any damage on the POD prior to letting the driver leave. This is to protect you, the receiver of the goods in the unlikely event of any damage. Once you sign the POD free and clear from damage, the goods are then deemed delivered in good order and no further claims would be applicable. This is the standard for all transportation so we want to protect you, our valued client.
Return and order cancellation policy
American Instrument Exchange will accept the return of any product that is not working as represented and could not be replaced or repaired to the customer’s satisfaction by American Instrument or a technician hired by/vetted by American Instrument Exchange’s during the warranty period. The customer will be responsible for proper packaging of the equipment and all included accessories.
Customers who cancel orders after refurbishing has begun or after delivery where there are no equipment performance issues will be subject to a cancellation and restocking fee of between 20% and 40% and responsible for the full total of the shipping & handling costs for both the delivery and the return of the equipment.
Are discounts available for educational or non-profit institutions, or for bulk purchases?
