asimplechordDude. People from Internal Medicine used our ultracentrifuge for an eighteen hour run at 60k rpm Friday night into Saturday and broke it. Literally broke the spindle right off. I don't even know how you do that.
ETA: Are you fucking KIDDING ME? They are trying to say that our centrifuge fucked up their rotor? Um, no. Just. NO. Especially when they had already tried two other 'fuges and had them stop mid-run for no apparent reason. Don't even.
