MODEL DESCRIPTION
HORIZON is a versatile line of centrifuges designed with 3 settings to process Chemistry, Coag or Platelet Poor
Plasma, and Urine specimens in the same unit. The maximum g-force of 2000 xg makes HORIZON compatible with
most brands of tubes. Cycle settings can be changed to accommodate custom settings.
FEATURES
o Simple 2-Button interface
o Three (3) easily selectable pre-set cycles are conveniently labeled for your lab’s most common applications. Use
the default cycles or customize them as needed. An LED light indicates the current selected setting.
o If desired, the control panel can be locked on one preset cycle for error-free reproducibility.
o Lid lighting indicates the centrifuge’s status (ready, running, done), informing the operator when tubes are ready
for the analyzer and preventing tubes from being left in the centrifuge longer than necessary (patent pending).
o A traditional audible alert indicates the completion of the cycle.
o Cool–Flow design prevents overheating of samples by using ambient air to keep specimens at room temperature.
o The tube holders are fiber reinforced for high strength, durability, and years of trouble-free use.
o A clear lid permits safe observation of samples and optical calibration of speed.
o The lid safety system prevents the centrifuge from operating unless the lid is closed and latched.
o The lid safety system only allows entry into the centrifuge after the rotor has completely stopped.
o The high-power brushless motors provide years of operation with no routine maintenance.
INTENDED USE
This centrifuge is a laboratory product designed to separate components by generation of relative centrifugal force.
It separates human and animal samples –such as blood, urine and other body fluids -- collected in appropriate
specimen receptacles, either alone or with reagents or other additives. As a general purpose laboratory centrifuge,
it is designed to also run other containers filled with chemicals (non-flammable, non-explosive, non-volatile, and
non-highly reactive only), environmental samples, and other non-human body samples. This centrifuge should be
operated by trained personnel only. This centrifuge is an IVD accessory, and therefore subject to the former EU IVD
Directive 98/79/EC and the current EU IVD Regulation 2017/746. Any use other than those intended by the
Manufacturer is explicitly prohibited. Maximum sample density is 1.15 grams/mL.

REVIEW CYCLE TIME AND SPEED SETTINGS
Factory programmed cycles are shown on the rear of the centrifuge, on the Factory Set Cycles label. To review
current settings, follow this procedure:
o The lid must be open to review the selected cycle time and speed.
o Press and hold the START button until you hear a beep.
o Release the START button. The centrifuge will beep and the LED light will flash once for each minute of run time
in the current cycle. 10 beeps / flashes equal 10 minutes of run time. Run time starts when the rotor reaches 90%
of desired speed and stops when the rotor starts decelerating.
o Pressing the START button again will cause the unit to beep and the LED light to flash once for each 100 rpm in
the current cycle. 38 beeps / flashes equal 38 x 100 or 3,800 Revolutions per Minutes (RPM)
o The centrifuge will automatically revert to normal mode at the end.

LABELING CYCLES
Factory programmed cycles are shown on the rear of the centrifuge, on the Factory Set Cycle Label. To facilitate daily
error-free use, an erasable label is affixed on top of the centrifuge for cycle identification. This label allows you to
identify your cycles by the name you use in your lab (for example: Chem, Coag, blue top, 10 minutes…) or by the
cycle parameters (5 minutes @ 1800 xg).
Use a permanent marker to resist cleaning with a bleach solution and to allow erasing with rubbing alcohol. For
further protection, the label can be taped over with transparent tape after writing.
OPERATION
o Place the tubes into the tube holders. Be sure to follow the rules for balanced loads as listed in the next section.
o Close the lid and turn the lid knob clockwise to its complete stop position.
o The front panel LED is illuminated for the currently selected cycle. To select another cycle, press the UNLOCK
button in succession until the desired cycle is selected.
o Pushing the START button on the control panel will start the spin cycle.
o When the cycle is completed, the rotor will slow to a complete stop and the lid light will flash.
o The unlocking mechanism will engage for 60 seconds allowing entry into the rotor chamber. To unlock after more
than 60 seconds have elapsed, press the UNLOCK button. The lid will unlock for another 15 seconds.
o Turn the lid knob counterclockwise and open the lid. The lid light will turn off.

Drucker Diagnostics | [phone] | [e-mail] | 8
BALANCING LOADS
Your centrifuge must contain a balanced load to work properly. Spinning balanced loads will extend the life of the
centrifuge and produce better results. Use the following rules when loading the rotor. If an odd number of samples
is to be spun, fill a tube with water to match the weight of the unpaired sample and place it across from this sample.
Opposing tube holders must be equally loaded or empty or loaded with equally weighted samples.
When loading only 3 tubes, they must be of equal weight.
Buckets can be placed around the rotor in any of the rotor loading configurations shown.
Each bucket must be loaded symmetrically with tubes as above.

Drucker Diagnostics | [phone] | [e-mail] | 9
CARE AND PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE
With proper care and maintenance, your centrifuge will provide years of laboratory service. For proper care, the
following steps should be taken:
o Always Spin Balanced Loads: Make certain that you are always spinning a balanced load, as shown in the
previous section. These centrifuges have a unique counter balanced motor mounting design which produces
excellent vibration dampening. However, out–of–balance loads may break glass test tubes and may produce
unsatisfactory separation results. Proper load balancing will improve sample separation and extend the life of
the centrifuge.
o Motor and Electrical Maintenance: The highest quality electrical components have been selected for the DASH
Apex centrifuges and should not need maintenance or servicing for the life of the centrifuge.
o Tube Holder Replacement: It is recommended that the tube holders be replaced after 24 months of use.
Inspect tube holders regularly for cracks. If cracks are discovered, replace immediately.
o Remove Accessories Before Moving: All tube holders, samples, and caps must be removed from the rotor
chamber before transporting or storing the centrifuge to prevent damage and injury.
CLEANING AND DISINFECTION
To prolong the life of the centrifuge, cleaning and disinfection is recommended every six months or whenever there
is a spillage or tube breakage. Contaminants must be removed immediately or corrosion and premature
degradation of components can occur. Before using any cleaning or decontamination methods other than those
recommended by the manufacturer, users should verify with the manufacturer that the proposed method will not
damage theequipment.
o Unplug the centrifuge before cleaning.
o Use appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE).
o Apply cleaning solutions with a towel or cloth. Do not submerge the centrifuge in water or other cleaning
solutions as this will cause damage and void the warranty.
o ONLY isopropyl alcohol or a 10% (5500 PPM) bleach solution should be used to disinfect the centrifuge and its
accessories.
o All surfaces must be dried immediately after cleaning and disinfecting.
TBQ GERMICIDAL PRODUCTS ARE NOT RECOMMENDED AS THEY MAY CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE
CENTRIFUGE.WIPE OFF THOROUGHLY AFTER USE TO PREVENT VOIDING THE WARRANTY.
o Fully/partially halogenated hydrocarbons, ketones, esters, ethers, benzyls, ethyl benzenes, and all other
chemicals not prescribed by the manufacturer shall not be used as they may cause damage to the rotor chamber,
rotor, tube holders, accessories and centrifuge exterior and void the warranty.
