The Horizon 6 FA routine centrifuge meets fixed angle processing needs for PRP, urine, and more at an affordable price. Set and lock to your lab’s preferred settings with the simple, two-button interface, or choose from three preset cycles for the most common laboratory needs. The illuminated lid lighting displays the centrifuge’s status at a quick glance and indicates if it is ready to run, running, or done. Horizon 6 FA spins all blood and urine tubes up to 15 mL/125 mm and is equipped with everything needed to run, including rotor and tube holders.
Easy to use: Program and recall 10 cycles on the horizon 6 Flex FA through the digital display. Set and lock your three preferred cycles on the horizon 6 FA through the simple two-button controls. Both spin 75-100 mm (3-10 mL) tubes in the same holder without cushions, or 125 mm (15 mL) tubes in the included additional tube holders.
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 fixed angle rotor, universal 75-100 mm (3-10 mL) tube holders, 125 mm (15 mL) tube holders included in the affordable price.
