A laboratory centrifuge is a piece of laboratory equipment, driven by a motor, which spins liquid samples at high speed. There are various types of centrifuges, depending on the size and the sample capacity. Like all other centrifuges, laboratory centrifuges work by the sedimentation principle, where the centripetal acceleration is used to separate substances of greater and lesser density. The information for synthesizing the molecules that allow organisms to survive and replicate is encoded in genomic DNA. Extracted and purified genomic DNA is very important for the analysis of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), disease states, and for many other multiplex and real-time PCR applications. The aim of this work is to design a genomic DNA extraction system that satisfies downstream application needs necessary for the successful completion of experiments and able to isolate a purified genomic DNA from many sources from bacteria to humans and also is able to encompass tissues from blood to muscle and from leaf to seed. Results revealed that the proposed system works with high efficiency and spins at up to 12,000 RPM to facilitate separation of the different phases of the extraction.
