StatSpin products are no longer available for purchase, and manufacturer support is being phased out. Practices still relying on the now-discontinued StatSpin® VT will need to find a replacement before their current unit reaches end of service. Continuing to run unsupported equipment increases the risk of unavailable parts and repair delays that can affect sample […]

StatSpin products are no longer available for purchase, and manufacturer support for them is being phased out. Clinical labs still operating a StatSpin® Express 4 will need to find a replacement before their current unit reaches end of service. Continuing to run unsupported equipment increases the risk of unavailable parts and repair delays that can […]

Labs that rely on a StatSpin Express 3 for coagulation testing are using a centrifuge that can no longer be purchased or supported. As parts become more difficult to source and manufacturer support is phased out, the chance of extended downtime increases, along with the delays that follow when a STAT unit is out of […]

StatSpin products are no longer available for purchase, which means clinical labs still operating a StatSpin® Express 2 will need to find a replacement before their current unit reaches end of service. Continuing to operate an unsupported centrifuge increases the risk of unexpected repairs, unavailable parts, or workflow disruptions that can affect sample processing and […]

In-house veterinary diagnostics are getting faster. A new generation of AI-driven hematology analyzers can now result a complete blood count in minutes, and that speed is changing expectations for the whole lab. While those analyzers run on whole blood and do not require a spun sample, chemistry, immunoassay, urine, and fecal testing all rely on a veterinary centrifuge. When the […]

When comparing laboratory centrifuges, it’s natural to focus on features like capacity, speed, tube compatibility, and cycle times. Those specifications help determine whether a centrifuge can support your workflow, but they’re only part of the picture. A warranty is worth evaluating just as carefully. It provides peace of mind if something goes wrong and offers […]

Hemolysis is one of the top reasons clinical specimens get rejected. Most labs assume the centrifuge is the reason why, but a single, properly run spin adds only a small amount of free hemoglobin to a specimen—far below the level at which a sample gets flagged as hemolyzed. Most hemolysis is set in motion before […]

A microhematocrit centrifuge is a compact, high-speed centrifuge purpose-built to spin sealed capillary tubes for direct measurement of packed cell volume (PCV). In a busy veterinary practice, it is one of the few in-house tests that delivers clinically actionable information in minutes from a sample volume small enough to draw from almost any patient. TLDR […]

For years, the BD Sero-Fuge™ was the best-selling blood banking centrifuge in the world, and serology labs everywhere built their blood grouping, typing, cross matching, and cell washing routines around it. With the Sero-Fuge discontinued, those labs needed a replacement that keeps their validated workflows in place. The SERO 12 is that replacement. Drucker Diagnostics […]
