A comparative clinical chemistry analysis on centrifuge performance during the preanalytic phase

28 May 2026

The preanalytic phase plays a vital role in ensuring the accuracy of clinical chemistry results. Centrifugation, in particular, is critical for effective serum or plasma separation, preserving sample integrity, and supporting precise analyte measurement.

In this application note, Drucker Diagnostics presents a comparative analysis of clinical chemistry data generated using two widely utilized centrifuges in hospital laboratory settings. Samples were processed on an FDA-cleared analyzer using FDA-cleared reagents, providing a robust and clinically relevant evaluation.

Both centrifuges demonstrated compact design, user-friendly operation, and compliance with international safety standards. The findings support their suitability for high-quality preanalytic sample preparation, enabling laboratory professionals to select either system with confidence in its ability to deliver accurate, reliable diagnostic results.

Clinical ChemistryBiochemistry (or clinical chemistry) involves the analysis of bodily fluids using chemical tests. Techniques used include HPLC, chromatography, spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, immunochemical, electrophoresis, turbidometric / spectrophotometric assay, MRI and ISE analysis. Tests are often carried out on plasma or serum but urine (urinalysis) and fecal specimens are also processed.Centrifuge
