Understanding Centrifuges - Benchtop
A laboratory benchtop centrifuge is a compact, high-speed machine used in scientific and medical research. It spins samples at high revolutions per minute (RPM) to separate components based on density. By creating a strong centrifugal force, the centrifuge enables the efficient separation of liquids, such as blood or chemical mixtures, into their individual components. This process is crucial for tasks like preparing samples for analysis, isolating proteins or nucleic acids, and performing routine laboratory tests. Its small size makes it ideal for placement on a lab bench, providing convenience and accessibility for various research and diagnostic applications.
