How Centrifugation Separates Lab Samples
Description
Centrifugation is a lab method used to separate parts of a mixture. A centrifuge spins samples at very high speed. This creates centrifugal force, which moves denser particles away from the axis of rotation and lighter particles toward it.
As the sample spins, the denser material can settle at th...

Transcript
The centrifuge is an instrument used in nearly every biomedical research lab across the globe.
Centrifugation is a process by which a centrifuge is used to separate components of a complex mixture.
By spinning laboratory samples at very high speeds, the components of a given mixture are subjected to centrifugal ...
