Re: [DIYbio] DIY Centrifuge

Hi Subin,

are you going to use some commercial rotor, or do you plan to build your own rotor?
I hope you don't plan to build your own one, as small imbalances might have massively destructive effects ^^

I'm speaking from experience... we had a big Beckman centrifuge and some bottles were imbalanced and the whole maschine (really big, like 1m³ in size) jumped through the room and destroyed everything in its path.

So be really careful with everything that rotates at high speeds and with a lot of weight.

Do you already have some kind of chassis and rotor?

Cheers
Filip

Not sure about specifics, but BLDC should give a pretty long life.
