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 […]

A mixed-animal practice processes a wider variety of sample sizes and species in a typical week than a single-species clinic, and the centrifuge has to keep up. The right unit reduces friction across that variety; the wrong one creates it every day. The buying decision is less about top speed and more about whether the […]

Veterinary labs handle a wide range of tests every day, from blood chemistry and urine sediment to microhematocrit tubes and more. The TrueBond Duet animal health centrifuge is designed to spin it all in one ultra-compact unit that weighs just 5.7 lbs and fits in the palm of your hand. With two swappable rotors included […]

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 […]

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 […]

Buying a centrifuge with too little capacity creates workflow bottlenecks. Buying too much capacity wastes money and counter space. The right choice comes from calculating your actual daily sample volume, not theoretical maximums. TLDR: Calculate average daily samples from the past 3-6 months, not peak theoretical volume 4-6 tube capacity works for practices processing under […]
