That was about 6 hours of running and even in the THCA above the tube there were a wee bit of terps left in some as you could see a bit of color - the rest of it straight up just turned to dust above the filter which was pretty cool

@TheWillBilly @SubstituteCreature @ThePhilosopherStoned
What make/model centrifuge are you using? If you had a wish list, which centrifuge would you want to buy?
TIA!

So what you’re saying is bring a skateboard if I come out 
To be absolutely honest, I have no idea about specific pieces of lab gear, I’m still very much getting used to not using ghetto rigged science - However me and the boys were talking yesterday and a heated, high RPM fuge is apparently just what i’m looking for since the terps are pretty thick and viscous and I’m only using a 4k rpm ld3 (which works great don’t get me wrong but when it comes to spinning terps out of rosin sugar you need a little more oomph)

@SubstituteCreature Why do you choose to spin your extract instead of re-pressing the extract? Easier? Cheaper? Just wondering. looks great

Terpene isolation - sending it in for analysis from someone much smarter than myself. Those are from already formed cold cure jars that honestly have probably been curing for months and are as fine as a rosin as you can get - pretty much all 6 samples in that are from absolute fucking rocket fuel, straight up daily dabbers of mine and since I figured all of those are solid gold in my opinion, why not get a bit more data so I know what I’m talking about in the rosin terp area because as far as I know nobody has really tried to isolate and rosin terpenes and see if there’s anything fun going on with them internally. Otherwise those aren’t really meant to be smoked or dabbed or even considered an extract worth consuming in any way (for now) - just research.

Thanks for the info. I’ll base my centrifuge selection on that criteria.

Close! God knows my eyesight will be dead as disco eventually.
Dis me - big ol computer/electronics nerd but my little brother is an analytical chemist so he’s the other type of nerd haha, surprisingly the only nerds in the family! Not pictured is my Lil makeshift workshop I built a few weeks ago I’ve been fixing an ungodly amount of twister t4s in - my own personal electronics prison!

I can think of a few uses, for example, mono-terp concentration and profile preservation of dried flowers while curing. Flowers can lose 30-50% of their mono-terps while drying (at 60-65’F) and then lose >20% of their remaining mono-terps while curing at the same temp.
Rough SOP: collect a single cultivar terp fraction from cold cured live rosin as you did in a cold room. Then store the terps under argon in brown vials at -20’C to -40’C. Finally, place wire caged sponges inside air-tight flower cure tubs and add a volume of the same cultivar terps. Everything scaled up by tub volume, terp mass (based on density at curing temp), and flower mass, following:

Well god damn…
Oh yeah I gotta figure out a gameplan for this one. I gotta go to my summer home (Lowe’s) real quick and get some hardware to finish this project but then I’m gonna sit down and give this a good look through… I really appreciate the link, bro! Your contributions are great!

If I had to guess, maybe an ld-3 is the centrifuge @SubstituteCreature is using?
Again, can’t be sure, but if it’s the 6 site 50ml fuge model everyone was getting for a bit, that’s it.

Cheers! 
Here’s what I’m considering from Alibaba. It’s similar to the one above but has a larger capacity (4x100 mL), faster (10,000 RPM), and refrigerated (-20’C to 40’C): TLG16M. I need to find out the price - it looks like $3,100. The mfg is ISO certified and seems legit:
A unit like this from US would probally run around $15,000-$20,000. For example, here is a centrifuge with the very similar specs, except it’s max RPM is 4400 and it’s a swing bucket; it’s $7,856. https://www.capitolscientific.com/Eppendorf-022629921-Model-5702-RH-Refrigerated-Heated-Centrifuge-with-4-Place-x-85mL-Swing-Bucket-R
I’d like to a get a floor model, but they are pricey even from China.
