Polyfuge: A DIY Open-Source Microcentrifuge for Everyone

Polyfuge: A DIY Open-Source Microcentrifuge for Everyone

Polyfuge is a DIY open-source microcentrifuge kit that brings one of the most fundamental biological research instruments to students and communities around the world for under $100. Come test it out in a safe and fun experiment with us!

What inspired you to make this project?:
After my experience as a research associate in the Ernest Mario School of Pharmacy and the Environmental and Occupational Health Sciences Institute at Rutgers University, I gained a new appreciation for the empowering feeling of having immediate access to biological research instruments. I created Polyfuge in an effort to enhance the accessibility of research equipment for those without access to institutional research labs.
