Drucker Diagnostics Model DASH Apex 12 Horizontal Centrifuge

Model DASH Apex 12 Horizontal Centrifuge

The DASH Apex 12 comes with 3 easily selectable pre-set cycles (default or custom) conveniently labeled for your lab’s most common tubes. An LED light indicates the current setting and this centrifuge can be restricted to a single setting for error-free reproducibility. Additionally, a traditional audible alert can be active or turned off and illuminated lid lighting indicates the centrifuge’s status whether it be ready to run, currently running, or finished.

Applications

Like the DASH Apex 6, the DASH Apex 12 is designed to provide high STAT processing of BD Barricor™ tubes but on a larger scale. The DASH Apex 12 can also be used with other tubes that involve Coagulation, PPP, and Gel Applications.

A leading supplier of high-quality lab equipment, Block Scientific offers diverse centrifuge models from leading manufacturers. We offer the Drucker Diagnostics Model DASH Apex 12 Horizontal Centrifuge. Designed to provide high STAT processing of BD Barricor™ tubes but on a larger scale, this model can also be used with other tubes that involve Coagulation, PPP, and Gel Applications. This mid-size centrifuge can centrifuge up to 12 samples at once in just 3 minutes of processing time and is perfect for hospital labs and other STAT processing needs.

The Drucker Dash approach uses a centrifuge array to eliminate queuing, which allows for immediate centrifuging. Small centrifuges in an array can be loaded quickly without batching and without waiting for a previous cycle to finish.

Feature Highlights of the DASH Apex 12

Ideal for STAT specimen processing, chemistry, coagulation, and general purpose laboratory sample separation, the DASH Apex 12 comes with 3 easily selectable pre-set cycles (default or custom) conveniently labeled for labs’ most common tubes.
