BLOOD, URINE, MICROHEMATOCRITS

AND OTHER ROUTINE SPINS IN
TWO-MINUTES OR LESS…
Here’s the one centrifuge system that’s designed
specifically for the in-clinic testing needs of
today’s veterinarian:
• FAST – separates in a fraction of the time required
by other systems… quality serum or plasma in
30-90 seconds!
• QUIET – operates without vibration and with
virtually no noise or heat build-up.
• VERSATILE – instantly adaptable to blood
separations, urine sediments, microhematocrits
and other routine applications.
• SAFE – cover interlock system, UL Listed
(US/Canada), meets international safety standards.
• EASY TO USE – simple microprocessor control…
self-diagnostics reduce chance of operator error.
• ECONOMICAL – priced right for the
in-clinic lab… pays for itself quickly.

BLOOD SEPARATION LIPOCLEAR URINE SEDIMENT MICROHEMATOCRITS

Prepared microtubes are quick
and easy to use -- quality serum
or plasma from up to 1.3 mL of
whole blood with a spin time of
only 30-90 seconds. Exclusive
PlasmaRotor produces gel-sepa-
rated plasma from 3 mL of blood
in two minutes.
Simple, effective way to clear
lipemia from 0.5 or 1.5 mL
of serum or plasma. Five
minute RT incubation fol-
lowed by a 90 second spin.
Predispensed reagent tubes,
non-toxic, one year shelf life.
Unique micro-method
correlates with standard
procedure. Only 1.5 mL of
urine needed; precalibrated
conical tube with flip cap
makes filling and decanting
easy. 45 second spin time.
Whisper-quiet two-minute spin for
12 tubes at a time. Choose glass or
easy to read SafeCrit plastic tubes,
plain or heparinized. Inexpensive
hand-held reader or illuminating
digital reading station available.

Rotors
Lightweight, precision fabricated rotors are pre-balanced to ensure reliable high
speed performance in the StatSpin VT. Critical tube balancing is not required –
users need only “eyeball” samples for safe operation, saving both time and effort.
Rotors simply snap into place and can be removed instantly, without tools.
