WARNING

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”),
a Bio-Seal should be employed. More than one level of protection must be provided in
the case of materials of a higher risk group. The use of flammable or explosive materials
as well as those materials which chemically react vigorously is prohibited.

Model Description

The Horizon Model 853VES, Plasmafuge-12, is a medium
capacity centrifuge with unmatchedperformance. The 853VES
offers control over almost every aspect of the unit’s operation
from variable acceleration and deceleration to easy time and
speed input. Save settings in one of 10 memory locations and
recall them at the touch of a button. High speed and force
capability produces platelet-poor/free plasma and greatly
reduces processing times. The exclusive Drucker horizontal
rotor allows for quick and easy sample loading and complete
horizontal separation.

Intended Use

General purpose laboratory centrifuge for sample separation.
