Clinical Lab

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 […]

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. […]

This study compares two centrifuges, the Drucker Diagnostics DASH-4 and Beckman Coulter StatSpin® Express 2, for preparing platelet-poor plasma (PPP), which is essential for accurate diagnostic testing. Centrifugation is a critical step in stabilizing blood samples, and the quality of PPP directly impacts diagnostic accuracy.

 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 […]

Centrifuge accessories don’t get much attention until something goes wrong. But carriers, adapters, inserts, and rotors are the components that actually hold your samples during centrifugation—and worn or mismatched accessories are one of the most common causes of tube breakage, poor separation, and unnecessary vibration. This guide walks through each accessory category so you know […]

Balancing a centrifuge protects your samples, staff, and equipment. Poorly balanced loads create vibration, noise, and mechanical stress that turn routine runs into safety and quality problems. This guide provides a precise, repeatable process for clinical labs, veterinary practices, and regenerative medicine clinics. TLDR Summary: Inspect rotor and tubes before every run for damage or […]
