A centrifuge is a machine equipped with a container that rotates at high speed, thereby exerting centrifugal force on its contents. The machine separates liquids with differing densities or solid particles.
A centrifuge is a machine with a rapidly rotating container that generates a centrifugal force on its contents, usually to separate liquids of different densities or to separate solids from liquids.
A wide variety of lab-scale centrifuges is used in chemistry, biology, biochemistry and clinical medicine to isolate and separate suspensions and immiscible liquids. They differ substantially in speed, capacity, temperature control and other features. Laboratory centrifuges can often be fitted with a range of fixed-angle and swinging-bucket rotors, each designed to accommodate a specific number of centrifuge tubes and rated for particular maximum speeds.
There are 2 types of centrifuges designed for different applications.
High-speed centrifuge with large capacity for frozen products:
99 programmes can be stored
High-speed centrifugation (21 000 U/min) and large-capacity centrifugation (4 x 750 ml) within a single unit
Low-speed laboratory centrifuge:
Low speed: 4 000 U/min
Programmable: 40 programmes can be stored
Centrifugal force: Centrifuges utilise the principle of centrifugal force to separate substances of differing density, thereby enabling the efficient separation of particles or liquids.
Variable speeds: Modern centrifuges offer adjustable speed settings, which allow precise control over the separation processes based on the sample characteristics.
Versatility: Centrifuges are employed for a variety of applications, including the separation of blood samples and DNA purification, as well as tasks in industry and bioprocess engineering.
Different rotor options: Various rotor designs support the use of different sample containers such as tubes, microtitre plates and bottles, thereby ensuring compatibility with a range of samples.
High throughput: Some centrifuges are equipped with high-capacity rotors and are capable of processing large sample volumes concurrently.
Biological research: Centrifuges are used for DNA extraction, cell separation and protein purification in molecular biology and the life sciences.
Medical diagnostics: Clinical centrifuges assist in the separation of blood samples for testing and in the preparation of components such as plasma and serum.
Pharmaceutical manufacturing: Centrifuges contribute to drug development by separating and purifying substances during synthesis and production.
Food and beverage industry: In the food and beverage sector, centrifuges are employed to separate and concentrate liquids, such as fruit juices and dairy products.
Wastewater treatment: Industrial centrifuges are used in wastewater treatment to separate solids from liquids, thereby facilitating efficient disposal and resource recovery.
Our centrifuges are procured from recognised manufacturers who adhere to strict quality protocols. Each product undergoes stringent testing to meet the highest industry standards.
