Overview:

A centrifuge is a laboratory device designed to separate particles or liquid phases by applying centrifugal force. It is widely used for the separation of suspended or colloidal particles from a carrier fluid, as well as for the isolation of biological components in medical and biotechnology laboratories.

Operating Principle:

The instrument rotates samples at high speed, generating centrifugal force that causes denser components to migrate outward and settle more rapidly than lighter components. This allows effective separation based on specific gravity or density differences.

Typical Applications:

• Separation of particles from a solution based on specific gravity
• Separation of two immiscible or distinct liquid phases
• Preparation of protein-free filtrates
• Separation of serum and plasma from blood cells
