Re: [DIYbio] Kickstarter Campaign for Polyfuge: A DIY Open-Source Microcentrifuge for Everyone

We are using a 2300 kv motor at 12V and have been able to hit up to 13,000 rpm with all eight 1.5 mL tubes loaded! If we are fully funded however, we plan on running more tests with stronger but cost-efficient motors to see if we can achieve higher speeds.

Looks interesting. what is the top speed with fully loaded tubes?

Hey everyone,

I've recently started a Kickstarter campaign for an affordable DIY microcentrifuge kit called Polyfuge. Polyfuge is a fully Arduino-based microcentrifuge that holds up to eight 1.5 mL eppendorf tubes, and can be assembled with M3 nuts and bolts alone. We see this centrifuge being very fit for classrooms and casual DIYbio enthusiasts (like most of you here) since it combines engineering in the assembly aspect with biotechnology in the application aspect. Please consider backing our campaign, as we only need $1,442 to get running and distribute Polyfuge everywhere! Thank you for your time!
