Description

1961: Centrifuges for safer vaccines

A team led by Norman Anderson demonstrates that rapidly spinning centrifuge technology previously developed to produce enriched uranium for nuclear reactor fuel can purify vaccines by removing foreign proteins that can cause side effects in immunized patients. By 1967, commercial zonal centrifuges based on the ORNL invention produce safer vaccines for millions of people.
