Definition
engineered system designed to separate materials by subjecting them to centrifugal acceleration generated by rotation
Examples
- a benchtop centrifuge used to pellet cells from a suspension; a refrigerated floor centrifuge used to separate biomass from culture supernatant; a disc-stack centrifuge used for continuous separation of cells from cell-culture harvest; a microcentrifuge used to separate precipitated material from a liquid sample
