Drucker Diagnostics Single-Speed Electronic Centrifuge - 642M

The Drucker 642M is a 12V DC mobile centrifuge built for phlebotomy and home health blood collection. Ideal when you need reliable spins on the road—mobile blood draws, nursing services, clinics, and remote sites—without relying on wall power.

Features:

• Electronic Timer – Preset to 10 minutes for ideal gel separations; selectable from 1 to 30 minutes for general purpose use
• Capacity – Up to six (6) tubes
• Tube Sizes – Up to 16 x 100 mm or 10 mL
• 12 Volt DC Motor – Years of operation with no routine maintenance
• Quiet Operation with Low Vibration – A double-encased motor assures quiet performance and low out-of-balance vibration
• Cool Operation – Unique design of the convection based cooling system protects the samples even under the heaviest workloads
• Footprint – Compact design uses approximately 1 sq. ft. of counter space
• 6 Foot Cord – Easily reaches the rear of your vehicle
• Automatic Lid Lock – Centrifuge will not run with the lid open and the lid cannot be opened while samples are spinning
• Positive Lid Latching – Firm mechanical latching of the lid prevents the escape of debris

FAQ — Drucker 642M 12V DC Mobile Phlebotomy Centrifuge (Canada)

1) Is the Drucker 642M a good centrifuge for mobile phlebotomy in Canada?

Yes. The 642M is designed for mobile blood collection where 12V DC power is needed (car/van use). It’s a practical fit for home health, mobile phlebotomy, remote clinics, and on-site blood draws across Canada.

2) Does the Drucker 642M plug into a car or van?

Yes—this unit is 12V DC, intended for vehicle power. In most mobile setups, you do not need a power inverter because the centrifuge runs on DC power directly (an inverter is typically needed when a device is AC-only).

3) Do I need an inverter for the 642M?

Usually, no. If your workflow is vehicle-based, a true 12V DC centrifuge is chosen specifically to avoid inverter complexity. (If you plan to run it from other power sources, confirm your power method and connector type before purchase.)

4) What types of blood tubes can it spin (SST, serum, plasma)?

The 642M is used for common blood collection workflows, including serum and plasma preparation—but tube fit depends on tube diameter/length and rotor inserts/adapters. If you tell us your tube type (for example SST 10 mL 16×100) we will confirm compatibility before you order.

5) How many tubes can it run at once?

Capacity depends on the rotor configuration for your specific tubes. If you share the tube size(s) you use (diameter/length and volume), we’ll confirm the best configuration and whether a larger mobile unit is the better option for higher throughput.

6) Is this centrifuge suitable for a mobile blood draw program doing 8+ tubes per patient?

It can be, depending on your tube size and your workflow (batching vs. continuous). If you routinely need 8+ larger tubes per spin, you may be better served by a higher-capacity model. We can recommend the best Drucker option based on your tube count and target turnaround time.

7) Is the Drucker 642M appropriate for SST tubes used in Canada?

Often yes, but “SST” isn’t a single standard—SST tubes come in different sizes. Send your tube spec (example: 16×100, 13×100, 16×125) and we’ll confirm the correct fit.

8) Can you help me choose between a 12V DC centrifuge and an AC centrifuge with an inverter?

Yes. In general:

• 12V DC centrifuge (like the 642M): simpler, fewer components, ideal for vehicle use

• AC centrifuge + inverter: more flexibility for choosing higher-capacity models, but adds another device and power losses
  If you’re regularly spinning higher volumes or larger tube counts (Flex 6 / Flex 12 type needs), inverter-based setups can make sense.

9) Do you ship across Canada? Will I get hit with brokerage or surprise fees?

We ship within Canada and can quote freight to your address. For Canadian buyers, the goal is clear landed pricing—no “surprise” brokerage situation like you often see with cross-border shipments.

10) Do you provide a formal quote for clinics, nursing services, and procurement?

Yes. We can quote with your required details (shipping address, contact name, PO requirements) and include any accessories needed for your tube type.

11) What warranty/support is available in Canada?

You receive manufacturer warranty coverage, and we support you in Canada for setup guidance, tube fit confirmation, and troubleshooting so you’re not left guessing.
