If you really want that scale of speed and can manage with small volumes ie ~100uL consider using compressed air instead (a la Beckman airfuge). Only one moving part in the fuge, and you can hit 500,000g. Still going to need a Ti rotor and armour plate though...
I agree entirely. You can pick up a used Airfuge on ebay for about
$50. You'll have to buy an aluminum rotor for it, for about $1800,
from Beckman. Do not try to build your own ultracentrifuge rotor.
You will probably want to run the Airfuge inside a refrigerator
anyway, and that will provide some protection in case of disaster.
