    Evaluating Laboratory Centrifuges for Platelet-Poor Plasma Preparation: A Comparative Study of Performance and Usability

    May 6, 2025
    This compares the Drucker Diagnostics DASH Apex 4 and StatSpin® Express 2 centrifuges in preparing platelet-poor plasma. Both delivered equivalent PPP quality with platelet counts below clinical thresholds and are suitable for reliable clinical use.

    Accurate preparation of platelet-poor plasma (PPP) is essential for reliable diagnostic results. This study compares the Drucker Diagnostics DASH Apex 4 and Beckman Coulter StatSpin® Express 2 centrifuges in their ability to process PPP. The results show that both centrifuges produce statistically equivalent PPP, with platelet counts consistently below clinical thresholds. Both units meet international safety standards and offer reliable, compact, and user-friendly designs, making them suitable choices for hospital laboratories and diagnostic applications.
