Definition
planned process in which particles such as cells, organelles, or molecules are separated based on size or density by applying centrifugal forces generated by a spinning rotor
Examples
- Latex is concentrated by centrifugation to separate rubber particles from field latex; Centrifugation is used to harvest CHO cells by separating them from spent culture media after production; Spinning blood samples to separate plasma for diagnostic testing; Centrifuging cell lysates to remove debris before protein quantification;

Primitive Class
This class is declared primitive and it does not have necessary and sufficient condiftions defined.
Primitive Rationale
Insufficient constructs are present to create a set of necessary and sufficient conditions
Formal Axioms
First-Order Logic Axioms
CentrifugationProcess(x) → PlannedProcess(x) ∧ ∃y(RecipeProcessOperation(y) ∧ prescribes(y, x))
Semi-Formal Natural Language Axioms
if x is a ‘centrifugation process’ then x is a ‘planned process’ and is ‘prescribed by’ some ‘recipe process operation’
