A centrifuge has a mechanical drive coupled to a capsule rotatable simultaneously about mutually orthogonal X, Y, and Z axes. A stationary base has a first motor driving a centrally located hub in rotation about the Z axis. The hub has a pair of colinear arms and a pair of struts extending from the arms to support an outer ring. An inner ring is positioned concentric with the outer ring and a second motor is engaged with both the outer ring and inner ring so that it is enabled for rotating the inner ring relative to the outer ring. A third motor is engaged with both the inner ring and the capsule for rotating said capsule relative to the inner ring. The simultaneous rotation of the capsule about all three axes is therefore possible.
A centrifuge positioned in a three-axis coordinate system, said centrifuge comprising:
In a centrifuge positioned in a three-axis coordinate system, the centrifuge having a mechanical drive and a capsule engaged with said mechanical drive wherein said capsule is engaged with said mechanical drive enabling rotation about mutually orthogonal X, Y, and Z axes of said coordinate system, a method comprising:
