Ultracentrifuge

An ultracentrifuge is a high-powered laboratory device that spins samples at extremely high speeds, creating intense centrifugal force. This force causes particles within the sample, such as cells, proteins, or other molecules, to separate based on size, density, or shape. It's like a super-strong, precise spinning tool that helps scientists isolate or analyze specific components of complex mixtures, enabling detailed study of biological materials like DNA, proteins, or viruses. Ultracentrifuges are essential in research, medical diagnostics, and biotechnology for understanding the structure and function of various biomolecules.
