about centrifuge and types of centrifuges?

Question

history of centrifuge. schematic diagram centrifuge,

Answer 1

A centrifuge is a piece of equipment, generally driven by a motor, that puts an object in rotation around a fixed axis, applying force perpendicular to the axis. The centrifuge works using the sedimentation principle, where the centripetal acceleration is used to separate substances of greater and less density. There are many different kinds of centrifuges, including those for very specialised purposes.

There are basically four types of centrifuge:

1.Tabletop /clinical /desktop /microcentrifuge
2.Highspeed Centrifuge
3.Cooling Centrifuge
4.Ultra Centrifugation

Answer 2

Well, as a molecular biologist, I have used some. Here is what I know. All centrifuges separate suspended matter within a solution based on their size and densities: These types come to my mind: Regular (with following subtypes) Table top: Small capacity, low speed; simple separations Floor models: Heavy, higher capacity & speed; simple separations Ultra centrifuges: Better resolution capacity because very high speed capacity There might be variations in the above models in industrial level activities. Continuous: These can be used in large scale operations with similar basic application as above. But the solution can be continuously fed into the centrifuge during centrifugation. This might be too basic for you though...!?

Answer 3

There are two main types of centrifuges.Ultracentrifuge with fixed rotor or swinging bucket rotor, and Model E analytical ultra centrifuge with shleiren optics and UV system. The first enables you to fractionate or get pellets. The latter is used for determining buoyant density and molecular weight.

Answer 4

You have a microfuge and the regular centrifuge.
