Understanding Centrifuge Tubes - Centrifugal Filtration
A laboratory centrifugal filtration tube is a specialised tool used in scientific research and clinical labs to separate and purify samples. By applying centrifugal force, these tubes efficiently separate substances based on their size and density. The process involves spinning the tube at high speeds in a centrifuge, causing particles to move to the bottom of the tube or through a filter membrane. This separation allows researchers to isolate specific components from complex mixtures, such as proteins, nucleic acids, or cells. Centrifugal filtration tubes are essential for various applications, including sample preparation, concentration, and purification, enhancing the accuracy and efficiency of experimental results.
