Abstract: A separator disk package for a rotatable drum of a centrifuge for processing of a fluid product in continuous operation is disclosed. The separator disk package includes axially stacked conical separator disks, where, between adjacent separator disks, disk gaps are respectively formed. On one or more of the axially adjacent separator disks are one or more labyrinth-like flow channels, in which, during operation, a direction of flow of a through-flowing product, which is to be clarified of solids, changes on two or more occasions through respectively at least 120°.

Abstract: The invention relates to a centrifuge having a centrifugal drum in which separator disks are disposed, and at least one of the separator disks includes surface structuring that improves separator performance.

Abstract: A method for processing a free-flowing product. The method steps include: providing at least one separator having a vertical axis of rotation, a rotatable centrifugal drum, and a plate assembly arranged in the drum; supplying the free-flowing product into the drum; separating one or more of a solid phase and at least two liquid phases from the free-flowing product; and discharging one or more of the liquid phases and the solid phase out of the drum.

Abstract: There is described a method for identifying an interaction between an RNA and an RNA binding protein in a biological sample, comprising the steps of: a) contacting the biological sample with an agent that creates a covalent bond between the RNA and the RNA binding protein; b) fragmenting said RNA; c) ligating a first adapter to the fragmented RNA; d) hybridising a reverse transcription primer to said first adapter and reverse transcribing said cross-linked RNA; e) circularising the transcribed cDNA; f) linearising the circularised cDNA; and g) determining the sequence of one or more of the cDNAs.
