Centrifuge Camera

The centrifuge camera has transformed a brute-force separation tool into a precision analytical instrument. Where once we had to guess, wait, and interrupt the spin to see our results, we can now watch sedimentation unfold in real-time, at the molecular scale, under thousands of times Earth’s gravity.

: In batch centrifuges, the camera measures the thickness of the "cake" (solids) on the basket wall to determine the optimal time to move to the next production stage. Color Line Control centrifuge camera
