Comparative Analysis of Chemistry Panel Results from Two Centrifuges Used in the Hospital Preanalytic Phase

The preanalytic phase in laboratory medicine significantly influences the quality and reliability of test results. This phase, encompassing sample collection, handling, and centrifugation, is crucial for producing accurate clinical chemistry data. Centrifugation, in particular, impacts serum or plasma separation, sample integrity, and subsequent analyte measurements.

Evaluating Equivalency in High-Quality PPP Production: A Comparative Analysis of the DASH Coag and StatSpin® Express 3 Centrifuges

Blood sample preparation is essential for accurate diagnostic test results, which influence about 70% of medical decisions . Centrifugation is a key method for stabilizing blood samples, particularly for producing Platelet Poor Plasma (PPP), crucial for tests like coagulation profiles. This study compares the performance of two widely used centrifuges: the Drucker Diagnostics DASH Coag and the Beckman Coulter StatSpin® Express 3.
