Clinical Centrifuges
Clinical centrifuges are designed for use in medical and diagnostic laboratories to separate components of biological samples, typically blood, urine, or other body fluids, based on their density. These centrifuges are designed for high-volume, routine processing, offering reliability and ease of use for clinical applications. They are usually compact and feature safety mechanisms to prevent accidents, as they handle potentially hazardous or infectious materials.
In clinical laboratories, centrifuges are most commonly used to separate blood into its various components, such as plasma, serum, and red or white blood cells. This process is essential for a wide range of diagnostic tests, such as blood typing, chemistry panels, and testing for infections or diseases. Clinical centrifuges are also used for urine analysis, helping to concentrate cells or particles for further examination.
Beyond blood and urine, clinical centrifuges can be used to prepare samples for other diagnostic tests, such as isolating cells or microorganisms for microbiological cultures, or separating components from body fluids for molecular analysis. Their ability to process samples quickly and efficiently makes them crucial in hospitals, clinics, and diagnostic labs, where accurate and timely results are critical for patient care.
