Centrifugation
A suspension in a conical tube clears from the top down as an accent pellet packs at the apex, then the tube is resuspended and the run repeats.

Biotech
15 animationsChromatography column
An accent band of product migrates down through a packed bed, narrows as it resolves and leaves as a drop at the outlet while the next band loads at the top.
CSSCloning vector ligation
A circular vector sits open at a restriction site while an accent insert arc swings in, seats and closes the ring, then the ring reopens for the next cycle.
CSSCRISPR edit
A guide complex travels along a DNA duplex to its target site, the duplex opens a blunt cut gap there, and the gap closes again behind it.
CSSFraction collector
A dispensing head indexes along a rack of vials, each vial taking its charge as the head arrives, then the rack clears and the pass repeats.
CSSGradient elution
Two buffer shares meet in one bar and exchange proportion end to end while a marker climbs the programmed gradient ramp above them, then both reset.
CSSOrbital shaker
A culture flask clamped to a shaker platform traces a small orbit while the accent culture surface tips against it, holding a steady swirl.
CSSPeristaltic feed pump
A pump head with three rollers turns against a looped tube and an accent slug of feed is pushed one occlusion further along the outlet each pass.
CSSPipetting cycle
An air-displacement pipette presses its plunger, the accent load empties out of the tip as a drop leaves it, and the tip recharges for the next dispense.
CSSPlate dispensing
A dispensing head steps along a microplate and the column of wells beneath it carries the charge, resetting to the first column at the end of the pass.
CSSSeed train scale-up
Three vessels of increasing volume sit in a row and the culture relays along them, each filling to its working level then handing the accent charge to the next.
CSSStirred-tank bioreactor
A jacketed fermenter vessel holds a constant broth level while the impeller shaft turns and sparged gas rises from the ring in a continuous column.
CSSSubculture passage
A monolayer grows across the culture vessel until the lawn reads confluent, then the flask is split and the rounded cells start the next passage.
CSSTangential-flow filtration
Feed sweeps along a crossflow channel above a hatched membrane while permeate drops pass through it into the collection chamber below.
CSSTransformation uptake
A pore opens in a membrane drawn in cross-section, an accent plasmid ring crosses into the cytoplasm, and the bilayer reseals before the next ring arrives.
