Clinostats and Centrifuges of the Gravitational Biology group

The Next Generation Short-Arm Human Centrifuge


With the Next Generation Short-Arm Human Centrifuge the DLR is equipped with a new Artificial Gravity Training Device as well as an outstanding scientific platform to investigate the effects of artificial gravity and hypergravity. The system is specially designed to perform complex training exercises, capture and analyze motion sequences and to conduct sensitive measurements (e.g. ultrasound examination) while spinning.

2D Clinostat for Pipettes


For the exposure of non-adherent samples (cell cultures) to simulated microgravity conditions this device has been constructed. 10 1ml plastic pipettes (Ø3.5mm) filled with the samples run in parallel inside of an incubator.

Centrifuge Microscope NIZEMI


The slow rotating centrifuge NIZEMI (Zeiss Axioskop, Zeiss, Germany) has been successfully used for threshold studies on various biological systems during the space mission IML 2 in 1994.
