A centrifuge generally uses centrifugal force to separate the desired product, which can either be proteins or nucleic acids, from the suspension made of insoluble fine solids in liquids. The desired product can be either in the supernatant (the clear liquid obtained as a result of centrifugation) or the pellet (residue from centrifugation sedimented at the bottom).
A centrifuge uses the idea of centrifugal force by rapidly spinning a sample around many times. This causes the sample, upon completion, to be separated into its highest density components at the bottom of the centrifuge to its lowest density components at the top. This makes doing certain things easier, like decanting supernatant (liquid) or collecting specific layers from a sample.

Centrifugation is a process that involves the use of centrifugal force(g-force) for the separation of mixtures. The theoretical basis of this technique is the effect of gravity on particles in suspension.

What type of mixtures are separated by centrifuges?
almost everything if they both have a different mass or weight
Are Isotopes of uranium are the most common fuel used in nuclear power plants?
Natural uranium is mostly U-238, with only 0.7% U-235 which is the fissile isotope. In reactors of the PWR and BWR types, the proportion of U-235 is increased to about 5% by enrichment, either gaseous diffusion or in centrifuges.
What is an example of centrifuging?
Centrifuges use centripetal force to separate substances in liquid or gas suspension. For example, if a test tube filled with muddy water is put into a centrifuge - a device with a wheel on a spindle with holes that hold several test tubes - and then spun around for a while, the water will separate from the dirt suspended in it.
What is the use of polymer in sewage treatment?
Polymer is a coagulent that is added to a flow to help separate out components, typically solids from liquids. In dewatering it assists with centrifuging sludge, and in filtering water assists with controlling turbidity.
How do you prevent aerosolization during centrifugation?
Follow these steps to prevent the generation of aerosols in centrifuges: 1. Routinely inspect the centrifuge to ensure there is no leakage. 2. Do not overfill centrifuge tubes. 3. Wipe the outside of the tubes with an appropriate disinfectant after they are filled and sealed. 4. Centrifuge inside a biological safety cabinet. If a biological safety cabinet is not available, internal aerosol containment devices (e.g., sealed canisters, safety cups or buckets with covers, heat sealed tubes or sealed rotors) should be used. 5. Remove aerosol containment devices and open them in a biological safety cabinet. If a biological safety cabinet is unavailable, a minimum of 10 minutes settling time should be allowed before opening.
What are different types of centrifuges?
low speed, high speed and ultra centrifuges
When was MSE - centrifuges - created?
MSE - centrifuges - was created on 1936-04-07.
Can you get fat from milk?
they centrifuges it.
How can isotpes of carbon be separated?
Mass spectrometer. (and centrifuges)

Do all analytical centrifuges have a cover?
For security and safety reasons they should have
What tool spins out blood or urine?
Blood and urine are spun on centrifuges.
How many centrifuges to enrich uranium are in the us?
Classified information that is not disclosed to the public.
How do people take fat out of milk?
Fat is separated from milk in large centrifuges.
Centrifuges use in nuclear power plant?
Centrifuges are used for enriching ura nium in the U-235 isotope. They work with gaseous uranium hexafluoride, if you have a long line of hundreds of centrifuges and pass the gas through them, you can gradually spin off some of the heavier U-238 resulting in a main stream with a greater percentage of U-235. This method has been used in Europe for many years and uses much less power than the older gaseous diffusion method which has been continued in the US, but I think that is now changing to centrifuges. This is what the State Dept is so concerned about happening in Iran. If you have enough centrifuges you can get nearly pure U-235 out which of course can be used in weapons.
Are centrifuges used to make nuclear weapons?
Centrifuges are one method of enriching Uranium. Depending on how much you enrich it the Uranium can be usable as either reactor fuel or nuclear weapon explosive.Other methods of enrichment include:gaseous diffusioncalutronsthermal diffusion
What are Uses of centrifugal force?
Main use is centrifuges, separating things into their component parts.
