The horizon 6 routine centrifuge makes it easier than ever to process blood and urine specimens. Its six-tube capacity and small footprint make it ideal for labs and point of care facilities where repeatability is key. Use the simple, two-button interface to program your validated cycles, or set and lock to one of three (3) preset cycles based on recommendations by tube manufacturers and the CLSI. Bright LED lid lighting is off when the centrifuge is ready to load, on when running, and flashing at the end of cycle.
Easy to use: Use the simple, two-button interface to select a preset, or program and record your validated settings on the included label. Process 75-100 mm (3-10 mL) tubes in the same holder without cushions.
Easy to monitor: Process samples more efficiently with HORIZON’s LED lid lighting: off when the centrifuge is ready to load, on when running, and flashing at the end of cycle.
Built to last: No routine maintenance. Brushless motor, engineered composite components.
Engineered for safety: Protect your lab with imbalance detection and a shatterproof lid which can only be opened when the rotor is stopped, even if the unit loses power.
A great value: Unbeatable quality for any budget. Each horizon centrifuge is ready to run with horizontal rotor, universal tube holders
