Tbf, even the “right” way to balance 7 tubes in 24 slots is a bit cursed of you don’t look at it as a superposition.
But you’ve got 3 tubes in an equilateral triangle and 2 pairs mirrored across the center, so we’re all good here.
How do they know if it’s balanced or not? Would they need do the math manually?
It’s just one equilateral triangle and then two pairs. The specific slots the opposing pairs are in don’t matter. You can see that each sample of the triangle has a gap of 7 slots between each other.
Thanks, that’s a great explanation! I can see the geometry clearly once you mentioned the equilateral triangle :)
How neat! Thanks for explaining in a simple and easy to understand way for those of us who aren’t in the know. I appreciate it!
You just fucking send it and see if it stays on the table.
I am not scienced enough to comprehend. :'(
Centrifuge spins really fast so you need to balance where you put the samples, or else it will vibrate. The trick is to put them on the opposite side or equally spaced apart from each other.

Man his wife is gonna be pissed when she’s sees what he did to her garden
I think they divorced and he found someone else, which is why he stopped making videos.
(I’m not joking, he explained it in one of his most recent videos)
