Lab Centrifuge Balance Monitoring

Manual balancing of lab centrifuges is prone to human error, leading to expensive equipment damage and hazardous aerosol leaks.

The Problem

High-speed centrifuges are dangerous if unbalanced. Manual 'eye-balling' of tube volume is inaccurate. An IoT-linked scale that requires a 'Balanced' confirmation before the centrifuge unlocks is a critical safety barrier.
