There is one H&S issue there is no guard ;therefore you could do yourself or someone else an injury if you tried to put your hand near the spinning buckets.

One can envisage issuing them to health care visitors performing phlebotomy in nursing homes. Samples could be conveniently collected at the bedside and then processed for example in the kitchens where the fuge could be attached to say a communal kitchen worktop. I guess if that was not an option, a dressing table would suffice. Can't think of any particular health and safety issues?.

Has anyone actually tried one of these to separate serum/plasma? Any suggestions? ------ACB discussion List Information-------- This is an open discussion list for the academic and clinical community working in clinical biochemistry.
