spINSIGHTS: Versatile swinging bucket-rotors

Description

The first centrifuge was developed in the late 1800s and it has since been established as a staple technology in virtually all research laboratories and industrial manufacturing facilities. In biological workflows, centrifugation plays a pivotal role in cell culturing and downstream processing as a simple, efficient purification solution. Because easy-to-use centrifuges have been a lab staple for decades, many workflows leave room for improvement and optimization.  

In this webinar, we will discuss centrifugation from an overall workflow perspective, with the goal of providing general considerations and improvements to boost overall process efficiency.  

In this webinar you will learn: 

• The role of the centrifuge in the context of the entire laboratory 
• Considerations for choosing the right centrifuge and labware 
• Strategies for minimizing contamination 
• Strategies for maximizing yield/recovery 
• How to maximize user safety and compliance
