Why not just use something like this?
This is the one I currently have: https://www.amazon.com/PRO-Electric-Laboratory-Centrifuge-Practice/dp/B0176D9QFS/ref=mp_s_a_1_3
It's a little bit annoying to use because it's relatively weak and low capacity, but it does the job for cocktails. You can read Dave's blog post on how to effectively use this kind of centrifuge for the use cases I imagine you're thinking of.
You know it looks kinda like a microfuge. So if you look at it that way, it's a really cheap microfuge!! Except it uh, doesn't...spin...stuff...
Nice, and it's only $290 on Amazon too. Wish I saw this before buying a crappier minifuge. https://www.amazon.com/Benchmark-Scientific-C1012-Traditional-Combi-Rotor/dp/B00792VKAQ
You could also try a centrifuge: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B003WOKPF6/ref=cm_sw_r_tw_dp_U_x_umpVBbQX6GCBW
I guess they mean centrifuges that do something useful or relevant to building nuclear bombs and not just you every day centrifuges that you find in any halfway equipped laboratory and can buy on Amazon.
things like this https://www.amazon.com/Cole-Parmer-Centrifuge-Swing-Bucket-Rotor-110VAC/dp/B00DDOQYZK/ref=sr_1_13?ie=UTF8&qid=1478895508&sr=8-13&keywords=4x50ml+centrifuge
They are polypropylene and thus autoclavable so they should withstand repeated sterilizations but I haven't tested that personally, I doubt the markings are gonna last. They are fine after a couple runs, tho. I personally prefer the skirted ones so they stand on their own, but they have one's without. One of the reviews for what I originally linked is even from someone using them for reishi and oyster slants.
Amazon has a couple good options, like these come sterile and are polypropylene and so reusable, as well. It's nice not having to work with tiny tubes.
[https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0141JSL4C/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1](I use these) combined with regular sample vials from Goulet. When I want to use the ink, I either find a way to stand the centrifuge tube up (cuz they have pointed bottoms - I really need to make something to hold them steady) or use a syringe to transfer a few mL to a sample vial. Works great.
