SciSpinner Max
Simulated microgravity you can measure.
The SciSpinner Max is a two-axis clinostat with independently controlled frame and core axes, a 167 mm sample chamber, onboard imaging and environmental monitoring, and a detachable motion sensor module that measures time-averaged gravity directly at the sample position.
Pricing
US list price $8,000 per instrument
Includes the Control Module, motion sensor module and standard sample inserts. Academic, multi-unit and international pricing is available by quotation. Typical lead time is about one month from order confirmation. Each instrument includes a 2-year limited warranty.
Request a quoteIndependent two-axis rotation
Geared stepper motors drive the frame and core independently. When the two axes turn at different speeds, the gravity vector is continuously reoriented relative to the sample, so no direction persists over time. Default settings follow Clary et al. (2022).
⟨g⟩ measured, not assumed
The motion sensor module mounts at the sample position. During a validation run the system reports time-averaged gravity over 2-minute, 15-minute, 1-hour and full-run intervals, giving you a measured value from your own instrument to report with your experimental conditions.
Imaging and environmental monitoring
A 12 MP camera in the core captures still images and time-lapse sequences, with 850 nm illumination for imaging in the dark. Temperature and humidity are logged at 1 Hz, and 130 RGBW LEDs provide scheduled day/night lighting. Images and sensor data are saved to a USB drive.
Web interface
Local web interface
Control the instrument from its touchscreen or from any phone, tablet or computer connected to the SciSpinner Wi-Fi network. No internet connection or cloud account is required.

Tools
Analyze a run in your browser
Drop a run’s imu.csv file into the g-level analysis tool to calculate the sensor’s zero-g offset, offset-corrected time-averaged ⟨g⟩ over 15-minute and 1-hour windows, sphere coverage and a comparison with the kinematic model. Processing runs locally in your browser; no experiment data is uploaded.
- Zero-g offset by sphere fit, with per-axis scale
- ⟨g⟩ raw, offset-corrected and modeled (Clary et al. 2022)
- Coverage of the unit sphere over the run
- PDF report, JSON results and corrected per-second CSV
- Open source, GPL-3.0; the same page ships in every run folder
