Horizon Centrifuges

Horizon Centrifuges

Why Horizontal Separation?

Horizontal separation maximises the centrifugal force, therefore reducing spin times, and a horizontal rotor produces a tighter horizontal separation line. The tighter gel line prevents re-mixing and therefore contamination and haemolysis. It is also less likely to become disturbed during shipping ensuring your samples arrive at their destination in perfect condition.

Horizontal separation is preferred and insisted on by most laboratories. The horizontal separation line is more convenient and compatible with most laboratory analysers.

• Better separation
• Tighter gel line   
• No remixing   
• No spoilt samples   
• No need for re-spins

Why is a "flat line" in the gel better?

1. Reduces the probability that the analyser probe will contact the gel
2. Produces a thicker gel layer with more serum available for testing
3. Allows samples to be shipped and/or handled without breakthrough
4. Eliminates the need for the samples to be respun by the laboratory

Why can I reduce my spin times from 15 minutes to 10 minutes with horizontal separation?

1. The patented design of the new Horizon rotor reaches higher g-forces and utilises more efficient separation than most fixed angle units, allowing for shorter run times and a more consistent sample separation

Seeking Distributors

As the official European distributor, and with authorisation to supply the centrifuges beyond Europe based on demand, Woodley Equipment Company are seeking distribution partners for the Clinispin horizon range of centrifuges.

If you would like to become a distributor, please contact us on sales@woodleyequipment.com

We have a dedicated Service Centre for the horizon centrifuges with repairs and services carried out in-house. This centre will also undertake in-house training for the service engineers of our nominated distribution partners.

Woodley Equipment are dedicated to providing a quality service and in June 2004 gained ISO 9001:2000 status, recognising the quality of our administrative and management systems.
