CENTRIFUGE

A laboratory centrifuge is an essential piece of equipment used to separate substances of different densities within a liquid. Here are some key points:

• Principle: It operates on the principle of sedimentation, where centrifugal force is used to separate particles based on their size, shape, and density.
• Components: Typically includes a rotor (to hold the sample containers), a motor (to spin the rotor), and a control panel (to set speed and time).
