Hi folks, Pfizer protein folks taught me a useful trick: the 1L centrifuge rotor liners from Beckman-Coutler (catalog number 369256 if you're curious). They are quite awesome in the sense that instead of scraping biomass out of the centrifuge tube one can instead heat-seal and freeze the lower portion of the liner directly. Saves a lot of space in storage, too - and the resulting flat pellet can be thawed really quickly. They can be used in the rotor directly, or placed inside a wide-mouth 1L centrifuge tube.
Unfortunately, these liners aren't cheap ($900+ per 120 in the US, that's kind of high for disposables) and also they only come in 1000-ml capacity. I wonder if anyone on this list have seen/used something like that but a) cheaper and b) in a wider variety of volumes. Thank you, Artem
