DALI Premium Horizontal Centrifuge for PRF

Our Premium DALI Horizontal PRF Horizon 6 Flex Centrifuge package, provides you with the latest cutting-edge technology for the PRF protocol at an affordable price. Don't waste your money on overpriced imported centrifuges that lack support! The DALI horizontal centrifuge works in the exact same way as the other brands, except that this centrifuge is manufactured and supported here in the USA! Recent research by Miron et al. and Lourenço ES et al. suggests that horizontal centrifugation for Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) provides benefits over the classical fixed-angle centrifugation. ^1,2. 

Horizontal Centrifuge basic package for PRF includes:

• 1 DALI Horizon 6 Flex Premium Horizontal Centrifuge (see full details below)
• Patented 2-Stage Horizontal Rotor
• 2 Preset Cycles for A-PRF (Solid PRF) and iPRF (Injectable/Liquid PRF) (10 customizable settings)
• Designed, built, and supported in the USA
• Warranty: 2 years on Centrifuge (lifetime on centrifuge rotor)

The HORIZON 6 Flex routine centrifuge is completely customizable. The fully digital display makes it easy to set cycle parameters on the fly, including variable run time, speed control, and deceleration. Lid lights flash at the end of each cycle and visually indicate the centrifuge’s status (off when ready, on when running, and flashing when done) from across the room, no matter the noise level. Spin 75-100 mm (3-10 mL) tubes right out of the box. HORIZON 6 Flex arrives ready-to-run without the purchase of any additional accessories.

A important note about Horizontal Centrifuges and the difference between a Horizontal and Fixed Angle:

Many people become confused when they see a horizontal centrifuge and notice that at rest the tubes are at angle. However, this is perfectly normal because the tubes are NOT fixed. More specifically, a horizontal centrifuge is what is known as a “swing out” centrifuge. In a horizontal centrifuge, the tubes are at an angle when the machine is at rest. However, unlike a traditional fixed-angle centrifuge, in a horizontal centrifuge the tubes are NOT fixed at an angle. So when the centrifuge is spinning at a high speed the tubes “swing-out” and become perfectly horizontal, as depicted in the photo below.

You can easily see on the horizontal centrifuge that the tubes are not fixed to anything, because at rest you will notice that the tubes can be moved up when you place your hand near the rotor. This ability to move is what causes the “swing out” at high speeds. This is very different than a fixed angle centrifuge, where the tubes are fixed at an angle, and cannot be moved, and will not move at high RPM.

Horizon 6 Flex Horizontal Key Features

• 1 Horizon 6 Flex Premium Horizontal Centrifuge (see full details below)
• 1 FREE Pack of 100 Glass Tubes (for A-PRF/Solid PRF) - Basic Option
• 1 FREE Pack of Bio-PRF Blue Plastic Tubes, 10ml The Bio-PRF Tubes blue tubes are used for making the liquid PRF. Bio-PRF Blue tubes were specially designed by Dr. Miron, the leading PRF research worldwide, to produce the best liquid PRF yield. Box of 100 tubes. These tubes are packaged in 2 tubes per blister pack. So the package comes with 50 2-Pack blister packs.
• 1 FREE Pack of Blood Collection Set 21G x 3/4" tubing length 12" (30 cm) - Basic Option

Horizon 6 Flex Horizontal Key Features and Benefits

• Easy to Use Use the simple, two-button interface to select a preset, or program and record your validated settings on the included label.
• Easy to Monitor with LED Lighting Process samples more efficiently. HORIZON's LED lid lighting is off when the centrifuge is ready to load, on when running, and flashing at the end of each cycle.
• Engineered for Safety Protect your office with imbalance detection and a shatterproof lid which can only be opened when the centrifuge's rotor is stopped, even if the unit loses power.
• Capacity – Up to six (6) tubes Tube Sizes – 3 mL to 10 mL: up to 17 mm x 75 – 100 mm
• Fully Programmable – Save and recall 10 easily customizable cycle settings, or choose from 2 presets for PRF
• 2-Stage Horizontal Rotor – Drucker Diagnostics’ patented swing-out horizontal rotor design produces ideal horizontally separated samples
• Cool Operation – Unique design of the convection based cooling system protects the samples even under the heaviest workloads
• Automatic Lid Lock – Centrifuge will not run with the lid open and the lid cannot be opened while samples are spinning
• Clear Shatter Proof Lid – Allows for safe sample observation and optical calibrations
• Reinforced Guard Bowl – Provides maximum safety and durability
• Brushless DC Motor – Years of operation with no routine maintenance
• Quiet Operation – Enjoy a sound level of just 64 dBA
