I don't know if you have access to 3D printers or something else for digital fabrication, but I keep asking myself if a big 3d printed rotor would work... Digital fabrication could deal with the imbalances, if well designed.
I'm imaginig a hacked washing machine with it axis jointed with a 3D printed rotor that fits perfectly - it would looks like an awesome hack of a washing machine.
Does anyone tried this before!? I mean, it is an easy idea. Found just mentions or comments with a rapid google search, but not an open and well documented project for centrifuges of bigger volumes (by the way, I found this nice project).

Seems like an accelerometer could monitor vibrations and shut-down if
things get violent, or how about a radio-controlled (BLE?)
kill-switch?
