Eppendorf 5702 Benchtop Centrifuge
The Eppendorf 5702 Benchtop Centrifuge is a compact laboratory centrifuge designed for clinical laboratories, biotechnology workflows, cell culture applications, academic research, environmental testing, and general laboratory sample preparation. This particular configuration is being sold without a rotor, providing laboratories the flexibility to select the rotor configuration that best matches their workflow requirements. The Eppendorf 5702 supports a variety of compatible rotor options for blood processing, clinical diagnostics, cell culture applications, and general laboratory centrifugation workflows.
Laboratories evaluating benchtop centrifuges often compare rotor flexibility, sample capacity, throughput capability, ease of operation, and workflow versatility when selecting a centrifuge system. The Eppendorf 5702 is engineered specifically for laboratories requiring dependable low- to medium-speed centrifugation while maintaining a compact footprint and straightforward operation. Because this unit is sold without a rotor, customers can configure the system around their preferred applications rather than paying for a rotor they may not need.
At American Instrument Exchange, our technicians inspect and test each centrifuge to verify proper motor operation, braking systems, lid lock functionality, and controller performance prior to shipment. American Instrument Exchange offers used and refurbished laboratory centrifuges for sale, including refrigerated centrifuges, floor model centrifuges, benchtop centrifuges, and large-capacity bioprocessing centrifuge systems from leading manufacturers including Thermo Scientific, Beckman Coulter, Eppendorf, and more.
