A lab centrifuge is a laboratory instrument that spins liquid samples at high speed to separate their components based on density using the principle of centrifugal force.

How it works:

A sample (like blood, urine, or cell suspensions) is placed in small tubes inside the centrifuge.
When the centrifuge spins, heavier components move outward to the bottom of the tube, while lighter components remain at the top.
This separation allows scientists or medical professionals to analyze specific parts of the sample.

Common uses of a lab centrifuge:

Clinical/Medical Labs
- Separate blood into plasma, serum, red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets.
- Preparation of urine samples for analysis.
- Isolation of microorganisms or DNA/RNA.
Research Labs
- Separation of cellular organelles.
- Purification of proteins and nucleic acids.
- Preparation of samples for molecular biology experiments.
Industrial & Pharmaceutical Labs
- Quality control testing.
- Separation of formulations or compounds.
