Difference between revisions of "Centrifugation"

<onlyinclude>'''Centrifugation''' is a mechanical separation process which involves the use of the centrifugal force to separate particles from a solution according to their size, shape, density, medium viscosity and rotor speed. The more dense components of the mixture migrate away from the axis of the centrifuge, while the less dense components of the mixture migrate towards the axis.</onlyinclude>. Next to the separation of solids from liquid, it is possible to obtain separation between two liquids of different densities as well, given that de density difference is large enough.
