Evaluating Equivalency in High-Quality PPP Production: A Comparative Analysis

June 23, 2025
This compares Drucker Diagnostics' DASH Coag STAT centrifuge & StatSpin® Express 3 for preparing platelet poor plasma. Both produced statistically equivalent PPP, with platelet counts consistently below clinical thresholds.

Accurate and reliable preparation of platelet-poor plasma (PPP) plays a vital role in delivering the best possible results and outcomes for patients in the hospital lab. This study compares Drucker Diagnostics' DASH Coag STAT centrifuge and Beckman Coulter's StatSpin® Express 3 based on their ability to produce high-quality PPP. Both centrifuges consistently achieved platelet counts below clinical thresholds with no significant difference in their ability to process PPP, making them both suitable options depending on a lab's specific needs, such as capacity, space, and operational preferences.
