Centrifuge in a sentence as a noun

But if he doesn't know what a centrifuge is, then how does he know that most people wouldn't know how to use one?

Hmm I can't see using a dremel to power a centrifuge working for non trivial lab uses.

The viruses separate into a distinct, narrow, blue-white band in the centrifuge tube.

Someone with more expertise in centrifuge application could chip in and clarify this.

Um, not to take away from the achievement of the result, but couldn't this result have been obtained in much less time with higher force than 1G in, say, a centrifuge?

Centrifuge in a sentence as a verb

The first thought that popped into my punny little brain was: Why didn't they use a centrifuge to accelerate results?The one variable that could be controlled is the gravitational force on the substance.

To my knowledge building a centrifuge to produce artificial gravity has never been attempted, it would take years of work and tens or hundreds of million dollars to design, prototype, test, and man rate any such a system.

To me it sounded more like they were keeping the malware quiet so that it could spread sufficiently before getting aggressive once it was plausible that it had made it into the centrifuge facility, at which point, it no longer needed to be stealthy.

So this is where the profits from the patent litigation goes:Myhrvold started buying equipment for the research kitchen in the Intellectual Ventures lab. Much of the equipment was standard cooking equipment, but it also included items such as rotor-stator homogenizers, ultrahigh-pressure homogenizers, freeze-dryers, a 50 G centrifuge,[1] ultrasonic baths, and rotary evaporators.

While I'm fond of this type of down-to-earth experiments, I'm curious about the scientific value of waiting for decades to observe the drop falling due to Earth's gravity, versus placing the apparatus in a centrifuge, which I imagine would dramatically accelerate the process.
