It is a paper disc that has supercoiled strings through two holes in the centre--like a
button. As you straighten the strings and uncoil them, the paper spins.
The paper spins at a very high rate and can separate materials in a way that is
similar to a centrifuge.
A droplet is added to the centre of the paper and it is spun. The densest objects
travel the farthest from the centre.
Assume that we are using it to perform our mitochondrial extraction, which cellular
component would travel the furthest?
nuclei
mitochondria
microvessicles
blood cells
