Centrifuge

Based on the varied densities of the components, centrifuges separate heterogeneous mixtures into their many components, including liquids in liquids, solids in liquids, and liquids in gases. Red blood cell and other blood component separation from whole blood is among the most popular uses.

According to the centrifugation principle, when a mixture is rapidly spun, denser particles are compelled to the bottom while lighter particles remain on top.

Centrifuge Types and Their Uses in Laboratories – Microcentrifuge. As the name implies, they have a very small design footprint, which means they don’t take up much room on the workbench. Ultracentrifuges, High-Speed Refrigerated Centrifuges, and Refrigerated Centrifuges are a few examples.
