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 […]

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 […]

For years, the BD Sero-Fuge™ was the best-selling blood banking centrifuge in the world, and serology labs everywhere built their blood grouping, typing, cross matching, and cell washing routines around it. With the Sero-Fuge discontinued, those labs needed a replacement that keeps their validated workflows in place. The SERO 12 is that replacement. Drucker Diagnostics […]

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 […]

The quality of a platelet-rich plasma preparation is determined long before the syringe is drawn up. Centrifuge speed, spin duration, the number of spins, and a handful of pre-analytical variables all affect how many platelets end up in the final concentrate and how biologically active they are. This guide walks through what actually drives platelet […]

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 […]

A centrifuge is one of the hardest-working pieces of equipment in a clinical lab and one of the most overlooked when it comes to routine maintenance. Regular cleaning and disinfection isn’t just good practice. It directly affects centrifuge longevity, sample integrity, and the safety of everyone in the lab. This article covers why centrifuge cleaning […]
