Centrifuge

Centrifuge machine is an electronic equipment used for the separation of components in a sample mixture, such as a mixture of suspended solids or two or more immiscible liquids. The equipment is fixed at the axis of rotation and centrifugal forces cause the samples to separate such that the denser materials are settled below the lighter ones. The sample is contained in conical or round tubes, often referred as the centrifuge tubes, and placed within the rotor, in a balancing position, and covered with a lid to prevent spillage, and any accidents or disasters. The rpm (rotation per minute), i.e. centrifugal speed, the duration of rotation, the temperature can be adjusted, based on the sample requirement. The machine is available as refrigerated / non-refrigerated, low to high rpm speed – as high as 25000 rpm.
