Low speed centrifuge and high speed centrifuge?

In: Biotechnology, Biochemistry [Edit categories]

Answer:

The terms are relative, like high power and low power for motors. It is relative to RPM. All centrifuge speeds are delineated in RPM. revolutions per minute. The type used in medical labs require specialized centrifuge test tubes (tapered and made of pyrex or some special centrifuge-specific glass). These normally run at a set speed but may have limited speed range control with a directional knob. There are really heavy duty centrifuges which are horizontal axis and look almost like UFOs and have a variety of chemical processing applications.
