Re: [DIYbio] Refrigerated Centrifuge Alternatives

Do you have access to a coldroom?

I'm in need of a refrigerated centrifuge for my agrobacterium electroporation experiments, but they're difficult and expensive to come by - even used on eBay. They're also super heavy and so shipping is also cost prohibitive. 

I'm considering buying a small mini-fridge and just running a small microcentrifuge inside of it after cooling it down overnight.

I don't think it'll be as efficient as most refrigerated centrifuges have coils tightly wrapped around the centrifuge chamber, but it'll def. be better than nothing.

Has anyone tried this or any other alternatives? 

Best,

Josh
