Platelet-poor plasma (PPP) validation can fail even when a centrifuge is working properly. When residual platelet counts come back above the acceptable limit, it can be difficult to know whether the problem is the centrifuge, the cycle settings, sample handling, or the way the platelet count was measured. When a PPP validation fails, start by […]

As the year winds down, equipment that seemed functional a few months ago might look different when you consider the year ahead. A centrifuge that still runs might no longer fit your workload, or it could be creating delays that are easy to overlook because there has not been a major failure. A year-end equipment […]

Urinalysis is a routine part of veterinary medicine, but getting useful information from a urine sample involves more than running a simple test. A complete urinalysis can include evaluation of physical appearance and urine specific gravity, chemical testing, and microscopic examination of the urine sediment.¹ For practices performing urinalysis in-house, sediment preparation is one part […]

Choosing a centrifuge for the clinical laboratory is about more than just comparing settings and tube capacity. The right centrifuge needs to match the tubes your lab uses, the sample types you spin, and the RCF and cycle times your workflows require. Clinical centrifugation requirements vary depending on your lab’s applications. Serum separation, platelet-poor plasma […]

Microhematocrit testing provides a direct way to measure packed cell volume (PCV) by centrifuging a blood sample in a capillary tube and reading the resulting packed red blood cell column. Consistent sample preparation, tube loading, centrifugation, and reading technique are all important when performing a spun PCV. Drucker Diagnostics’ TrueBond Duet veterinary centrifuge comes with […]

The terms packed cell volume (PCV) and hematocrit (HCT) are often used interchangeably. While the two are closely related, the methods used to obtain them can be different, which means the results from the same blood sample are not always interchangeable. For veterinary practices running spun PCV and human laboratories using it as a backup […]

A blood bank centrifuge plays a very specific role in the laboratory. Unlike the centrifuges used to separate donated blood into components, a blood bank centrifuge is designed for the short, controlled spins used in serological testing. Also called a serology or serological centrifuge, this type of centrifuge is used for applications such as blood […]
