Clinical Lab

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 […]

Purchasing a new coagulation analyzer? Consider pairing it with a centrifuge array to streamline your workflow right from the start. The correct setup can significantly reduce turnaround times, eliminate manual batching, and keep specimens moving even during peak volume periods. At Drucker Diagnostics, we’ve designed our centrifuges specifically for coagulation workflows. Here’s how to find […]

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 […]

Turnaround time (TAT) is one of the clearest measures of a lab’s performance, and it’s one of the first things clinicians notice when results are slow to arrive. Every minute a sample spends waiting is a minute a physician spends without the information they need to make a decision. For STAT samples coming out of […]

When a clinical lab evaluates a new 24-place centrifuge, the spec sheet is only part of the picture. Maximum speed matters, and so does the range of tubes a single centrifuge can spin, what comes in the box, and the service team behind it. This guide compares the Drucker Diagnostics all-new DASH 24 with three […]

Yes, and it happens more often than most laboratories recognize. Centrifugation sits at the boundary between specimen collection and analysis, which means errors there are classified as preanalytical and are often invisible by the time a result leaves the laboratory. The sample looks processed. The analyzer ran. The number printed. But if the centrifuge step […]

Drucker Diagnostics offers a 24-place centrifuge for clinical labs that need to process high sample volumes in a compact footprint. With the DASH Flex 24 now discontinued, the two current options are the all-new DASH 24 STAT centrifuge and the HORIZON 24 FLEX routine centrifuge. While all three spin samples using a horizontal rotor, they […]

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 […]
