When a lab needs a centrifuge, there’s no shortage of options. Many equipment manufacturers offer centrifuges as part of a broader catalog alongside incubators, analyzers, refrigeration equipment, and more. Initially that breadth can seem like an advantage, but for the laboratories and healthcare professionals who depend on these instruments every day, there’s a compelling case […]

If your lab is using multiple centrifuge models to manage all of your applications, you’re dealing with the operational overhead that comes with it: separate validation records and SOPs, rotor inventories, and competency requirements for every operator on every model. The all-new DASH 24 STAT centrifuge offers a solution. With a 24-tube capacity, maximum speed […]

Equipment reliability starts with manufacturer support. Without it, labs lose access to replacement parts, technical expertise, and the responsive service that prevents minor issues from becoming major disruptions. As support phases out for aging centrifuges, clinical labs and veterinary practices face a choice: continue managing equipment with dwindling resources, or upgrade to a manufacturer committed […]

For over 45 years, Tri-County Technical College (TCTC) in Pendleton, South Carolina, has been preparing students for rewarding careers in veterinary technology. As the 20th oldest Veterinary Technology program in the nation, TCTC has earned a reputation for excellence, maintaining full accreditation since 1979 and achieving a remarkable 100% VTNE pass rate in 2025 (more […]

Turnaround time is one of the most closely watched metrics in clinical laboratory operations. When results are delayed, clinical decisions wait. And while labs often focus on analyzer throughput or staffing to tighten TAT, the centrifuge is frequently the bottleneck. Equipment that runs inconsistently, requires frequent repairs, or forces re-runs doesn’t just slow things down. […]

If you’re comparing veterinary centrifuges and the LW Scientific E8 is on your shortlist, here’s how it stacks up against TrueBond. The E8 comes in two relevant configurations: Combination Variable Speed and Combination Touch, each with a direct TrueBond counterpart worth evaluating side by side. TLDR Both TrueBond models reach higher max speeds than either […]

If your clinic is evaluating compact, high-speed centrifuges for blood work, hematocrit readings, and urine sediment, the TrueBond Duet and Beckman Coulter StatSpin VT are closely matched on paper. Same speed ceiling. Same rotor configuration. Same number of preset cycles. The differences that matter are in warranty, support, and what happens after the sale. TLDR […]

The TrueBond TriFLEX and Unico PowerSpin DX are horizontal veterinary centrifuges built for routine blood, urine, and fecal processing. They differ substantially in rotor type, tube compatibility, application coverage, and price. Here’s how they compare. TLDR The TrueBond TriFLEX handles the widest tube range (2 mL to 140 mL) and includes microhematocrit capability and all […]

 In April 2018, a custom-built Drucker Diagnostics centrifuge left Earth on SpaceX-14 and docked with the International Space Station. Nearly seven years later, it continues to support NASA’s human research mission in orbit. A Custom Build for a Unique Mission Drucker’s relationship with NASA’s Johnson Space Center goes back over a decade, when the two […]
