Description
“Prominent among our first achievements at Rockefeller was the “Beaufay rotor,” a remarkable piece of machinery designed in Louvain by Dr. Henri Beaufay for the analysis of microsomal fractions…. While the delicate filling-empting device was still posing problems when I joined Rockefeller, these were solved with the skilled collaboration of the head of the Instrument Shop, Nils Jernberg, a Swedish-born engineer.” (De Duve, Christian. “Exploring Cells with a Centrifuge: Discoveries of the Lysosome and Peroxisome.” Entering an Unseen World. By Carol Moberg. New York: The Rockefeller University Press, 2012)
