Abstract
A variety of platforms has been developed to do experiments under micro and macrogravity. For macrogravity experiments a modified laboratory centrifuge can be used without significant temporal limitations. g-values up to some ten g are usually sufficient for biological studies and can be easily obtained in such a centrifuge. A centrifuge developed in our lab is described at the end of this chapter.
