How to Install the TrueBond Duet Fixed Angle Rotor
Published May 7, 2026Veterinary 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 right out of the box, you can switch between the 2-place fixed angle rotor for blood and urine samples and the 12-place microhematocrit rotor to adapt to your daily workload.
Proper rotor installation is important for safe, reliable performance and consistent sample quality with every spin. To help your team get it right every time, we’ve put together a short instructional video and a downloadable PDF guide that walk through the installation steps.
Installation Steps at a Glance
- Start by aligning the rotor straight onto the motor shaft. Avoid placing it at an angle.
- Gently lower it into position so it sits evenly on the mount.
- Apply firm downward pressure until the rotor is fully seated and secure.
- Before operating, give the rotor a quick rotation with your hand. It should feel and look stable with no wobble.
Following these steps each time you swap rotors helps protect your equipment, prevents unexpected breakdowns, and keeps your practice on schedule so you can stay focused on what matters most—caring for your patients.
