Refrigerated Bench Top Centrifuge
Status: Available
The centrifuge is to be used for separating materials of different densities or particle sizes suspended in a liquid. A centrifuge is a device used to separate components of a mixture based on their size, density, viscosity of the medium, and the rotor speed.
The centrifuge is commonly used in laboratories for the separation of biological molecules from a crude extract.
There are different types of centrifuges used for the separation of different molecules, but they all work on the principle of sedimentation.
It is driven by an electric motor where the tubes are rotated about a fixed axis, resulting in force perpendicular to the tubes.
A benchtop centrifuge has a rotor with racks for the sample tubes and a lid that closes the working unit of the centrifuge.
