When Do You Use a Centrifuge?

Healthy Food

Regardless of the purpose and nature, clinical laboratories have one device they consider a staple: clinical centrifuges. Centrifuges use centrifugal force to separate the components of a mixture with a spinning rotor.

A centrifuge spins laboratory samples at very high speed. This causes the less dense particles to move toward the axis of rotation. At the same time, the more dense components move away.

Designed for various research and clinical applications, a centrifuge is used when:

  • Separating blood
  • Separating mixtures that are close in densities
  • Separating immiscible liquids
  • Separating insoluble particles from a solution
