Centrifuges are motor-driven tools that are often used in the research, clinical, and medical settings. A centrifuge is used in a process called centrifugation, where the components of liquid are separated. Centrifuges come in various types including oil test centrifuge, benchtop high speed centrifuge, blood bank centrifuge, and many more.
Different Types of Centrifuges
Below are some of the various types of centrifuges available in the market today:
Microliter Centrifuges: Provides Powerful Results at Micro Level
Microliter centrifuges come with powerful motors that require very little maintenance. It is capable of achieving high centrifugal force (RCF value) and that is suitable for separating small molecular weight compounds.
Small Centrifuges: Benchtop Performance in Compact Footprint
Small centrifuges are considered a truly valuable tool in many laboratories thanks to their versatility and small form factor.
Benchtop Centrifuges: The Specialists in Diversity
Benchtop centrifuges have various rotors and accessories that help ensure output demands are met, regardless of size and volume. Steady and robust temperature control systems ensure that samples are retained at the optimal sample temperature.
Basic Centrifuge Applications
Below are some of the common uses of centrifuges:
- Helps in the separation of proteins through the purification techniques
- Separation of blood and urine components in research and forensic laboratories
- Wine stabilization and clarification
- Removing fat from milk (for the production of skimmed milk)
- Separation of chalk powder from water
- Mammalian cells purification
- Separation of two miscible substances
