Centrifuge

More equipment. Here, a Sorvall Legend T+ centrifuge. Non-refrigerated and optimal for swing-bucket rotors at medium speeds.


This one is from Beckman Coulter, the Allegra X-22R, a refrigerated high-speed centrifuge. It's a shared resource but I've ordered a high speed rotor that will take it over 20,000 g's.


This is also an opportune time to cite one of my favorite xkcd episodes of all time. I am talking about this. And you are up for even more punishment, here's a video of a paint can being centrifuged in pendicular axes. It's a popular way of mixing various materials to homogeneity.
