The StatSpin VT centrifuge system is designed specifically for the in-clinic testing needs of today’s veterinarian. It provides quality serum and plasma in 30 to 90 seconds, a fraction of the time required by other systems. The whisper-quiet system is designed to minimize vibration, noise and heat build-up. Versatile yet safe, the multipurpose StatSpin VT is instantly adaptable to blood separations, urine sediments, microhematocrits and other routine applications.
With simple microprocessor controls and self-diagnostics, this easy-to-use system reduces the chance of operator error. Priced right for the in-clinic lab, the StatSpin VT is economical and will achieve return on investment quickly.
