What Is A Centrifuge? & Exploring Lab Centrifuge

Image
  Centrifuges are common laboratory tools used to remove particles from a solution. These particles are sorted based on the medium's size, shape, density, and viscosity. The separation process is affected by the rotor speed. Centrifuges are one of the most common pieces of laboratory equipment nowadays. They are found in a variety of laboratories, including chemistry, biochemistry, and molecular biology labs, and are employed in both research and therapeutic contexts. Separation, purification, and isolation of organelles, cells, and cell components, as well as more complicated mixtures of nucleic acids, proteins, and viruses for further study, are some of their most common applications. Although centrifuges have a lengthy history—they were first used to separate cream from milk in the late 1800s—their capabilities (maximum centrifugal force) did not experience much growth until biochemistry progressed, resulting in a subsequent demand for machines with higher levels of centrifugal...
