3D -Fuge: A New Hand Powered Centrifuge

April 26, 2019April 26, 2019 LabOnTheCheap

Last year at around this time we covered Paperfuge, a card stock based centrifuge that could spin QBC capillary tubes samples at ~10,000 g. Using the principles laid out with Paperfuge, Gaurav Byagathvalli, Aaron Pomerantz, Soham Sinha, Janet Standeven, and M. Saad Bhamla have come up with 3D-Fuge detailed in a paper on the bioarxiv […]

Paperfuge: A Paper Centrifuge for QBC Capillary Tubes

April 17, 2018April 17, 2018 LabOnTheCheap

Using some card stock paper, a braided fishing line, some PVC pipe (or wood), and drinking straws with acrylic a team at Stanford proposes a basically free alternative to QBC centrifuges with comparable performance. To paraphrase from the paper: “The hematocrit results obtained in 1.5 mins on the paperfuge are comparable to the results obtained […]

Dremelfuge – Surprisingly Powerful Small Centrifuges from Power Tools

March 22, 2018January 17, 2019 LabOnTheCheap

You can 3D print or Buy adapters for Dremel power tools to centrifuge 1.5 ml eppendorf tubes. This isn’t a little replacement to those mini pop-top centrifuges that ponder around at 10,000 rpm and only give around 5,000 g, oh no. Dremelfuges can hit 33,000 RPM and upwards of 51,000 g. If 3D printing is […]
