WARNING
Use universal precautions when handling laboratory specimens. All human specimens of blood,
blood compounds, or bodily fluids are potentially biohazardous and may contain Hepatitis B virus,
Hepatitis C virus, Human immunodeficiency virus or other disease causing agents. For the safety of
both the operator and service personnel, care should be taken when handling substances that are
known to be toxic, radioactive, or contaminated with pathogenic microorganisms when using this
centrifuge. When Risk Group II materials are used (as identified in the World Health Organization
“Laboratory Bio-Safety Manual”), the use of a Bio-Seal should be employed. More than one level
of protection must be provided in the case of materials of a higher group. The use of flammable or
explosive materials as well as those materials which chemically react vigorously is prohibited.
Model Description
The Horizon Model 642VES is a continuous-duty, electronicallycontrolled, variable-speed, laboratory centrifuge with a lid safety
interlock system. The unit also incorporates a backlit display, making
accessing and controlling centrifugation parameters easier than ever.
The 642VES offers the user control over many parameters, including
variable runtime, speed control, and deceleration. The exclusive
Drucker horizontal rotor allows for quick and easy sample loading and
complete horizontal separation. Up to ten commonly used settings
can be saved and recalled at the touch of a button.
Intended Use
General purpose laboratory centrifuge for sample separation.
