Centrifuge 5425 is the new laboratory standard. With its 24–place capacity and speed up to 21,300 × g, it is perfectly equipped for all modern molecular biology applications in Eppendorf and PCR tubes.
This 24-place centrifuge has been engineered to be extremely quiet. Short runs up to 12 minutes are whisper quiet at an average of 45 dB(A). This is sufficient for centrifugation steps of most routinely used DNA/RNA purification kits. During longer runs the cooling fan works at full capacity to dissipate the heat for the remainder of the run. Centrifuge 5425 is the successor of the legendary Centrifuge 5424. It has everything you loved before plus great new features to make everyday work more enjoyable.
Different rotor and adapter options are also available
An IVD version of this model is also available (part number: 5405000662), please contact us for more information.

Centrifuge Range Overview
Click below to check out an overview and key features that are present in the entire Eppendorf centrifuge family.
IVD vs GLP
The GLP Eppendorf centrifuge is part of the general lab products range and is suitable for most applications.
Centrifuges with IVD certification are registered as an in vitro diagnostic medical device under the IVD Directive 98/79/EC in Europe. If your lab is involved in clinical work, then you should consider getting a centrifgue with this certification. Having this certification may come at a price premium.
Rotor Nomenclature
Rotors come in two formats - Swing out and Fixed angle. The Eppendorf nomenclature explained so you know exactly what you're getting with each rotor model.
Swing Out Rotors |
Fixed Angle Rotors |
S-4-104 |
FA-45-18-11 F – Fixed Angle A – Aerosol Tight Angle of Bore Hole Number of Bore Holes Diameter of Tube (mm) |
S-4x750 |
FA-24x2 F – Fixed Angle A – Aerosol Tight Number of Bore Holes Volume of Tube (ml) |
Features...Explained
Eppendorf centrifuges are packed full of numerous features (not all features are present in all centrifuges) and here we explain exactly what the terminology means.

Eppendorf offers a variety of products complying to the IVD Directive 98/79/EC. If your lab work is predominantly a medical, clinical or diagnostic application, an IVD compliant product should be used. If your lab work is rather research oriented, a General Lab Product (GLP) should be used.
Functionally, the products are the same, however the IVD compliant product has a number of additional pieces of documentation and analysis to meet the requirements of 98/79/EC including:
For the above reasons, the IVD-compliant products usually fall at a slightly higher price point.Â
