clinical centrifuge

A clinical centrifuge is a laboratory device that spins samples at high speeds to separate components based on their density. By rotating blood or other fluids rapidly, it causes heavier particles, like blood cells, to settle at the bottom, while lighter liquids, like plasma, remain on top. This separation helps medical professionals analyze specific parts of blood or fluids for diagnostic purposes. The centrifuge is an essential tool in laboratories to quickly and efficiently prepare samples for testing, ensuring accurate and reliable results.
