A blood spinning machine, or benchtop centrifuge, separates whole canine blood into serum or plasma for progesterone testing and clinical diagnostics. Because progesterone analyzers require clean serum or plasma rather than whole blood, a dedicated centrifuge is a core tool in every breeder testing setup.
Most compact centrifuges separate a canine blood sample in 5 to 10 minutes at 3,000 to 4,000 RPM. After drawing blood into a serum separator tube and allowing it to clot for 15 to 20 minutes, spinning produces a clear layer of serum ready for pipetting onto your test cassette.
CanineP4 stocks variable-speed micro-centrifuges and fixed-angle rotor models sized for standard 1.5 ml to 2.0 ml microcentrifuge tubes and 5 ml blood collection tubes. Each centrifuge is covered by a 6-month replacement warranty and includes tube rotor adapters suited for daily kennel and clinic workflows.
All centrifuges ship same-day when ordered before 1:30 PM CST, Monday through Friday. Call 844-673-7378 or use our contact form for guidance on rotor sizing and speed settings.
Most canine progesterone protocols require spinning whole blood at 3,000 to 4,000 RPM for 5 to 10 minutes. This speed cleanly separates the dense red blood cells from the serum or plasma without lysing the cells (hemolysis), ensuring an uncontaminated sample for testing.
Most benchtop micro-centrifuges separate a canine blood sample in about 5-10 minutes. Adding the draw, transfer, and pipetting steps, most breeders go from blood draw to a ready-to-run sample in under 20 minutes. CanineP4's blood spinning machines are built for repeated daily use and most carry a 6-month replacement warranty.
Most canine progesterone analyzers run on serum or plasma rather than whole blood, so the sample is spun down in a centrifuge before testing. Check your analyzer's instructions for the exact sample type it requires, since some models accept whole blood while others need separated serum. Using the wrong sample type can produce inaccurate results. CanineP4 lists the required sample type on each analyzer's product page.
