A research centrifuge is a device used in laboratories to spin samples at high speeds, creating a strong force that separates components based on their density. By spinning fluids or mixtures rapidly, the centrifuge causes denser particles to move outward more quickly, allowing scientists to isolate specific parts like cells, proteins, or other molecules. This process helps researchers analyze and study biological or chemical samples more effectively. Research centrifuges come in various sizes and capabilities, suited for different scientific applications, from medical diagnostics to material testing.
