Centrifugation is one of the most basic laboratory applications. Integrated with advanced technologies, modern clinical centrifuges are crucial for smooth lab centrifugation processes which involve pre-analytical processing of human samples such as blood, urine or sputum. While there are different floor model units available, these are not suitable for laboratories with space constraints. Model 614B centrifuge from Drucker Diagnostics is an affordable, fixed-angle centrifuge designed to meet the varied needs of physician's offices and small laboratories. Ideal for blood separations and other clinical or analytical applications, this single speed centrifuge has a compact design that requires less space (less than 1 sq. ft), and reduces footprint thereby providing more space on the lab counter.
Using advanced engineering materials and an advanced cooling system, Model 614B centrifuge provides high-quality fixed angle separations. The performance of the lab equipment reduces patient withdraw by providing a high quality, stable gel layer and by maximizing sample integrity. The unit is controlled by a mechanical timer settable from 1 to 30 minutes (preset to 10 minutes) that allows for a wide range of applications. Samples can be easily viewed through the transparent lid. If the lid gets opened during a run, the power to the motor will be disconnected. A double-encased motor integrated in this unit promotes a quiet operation and the stability mount design provides excellent imbalance stability.
Certified to US, Canadian, and European Safety standards, this centrifuge model is integrated with the following prominent features -
