Back in the days of doing plasmid preps in CsCl gradients, a grad student
loaded the new vertical rotor, carefully torqued the caps and performed the
run. He was concerned that a sample may have leaked because there was red
liquid all over the chamber. Turns out he ran the gradients alright. He
just never bothered to put them into tubes; just pipetted the samples right
into the rotor. No wonder he asked for advice on how to pull the plasmid
band.
