The main difference between the Decanter Centrifuge and Centrifuge is given below:-
A Decanter Centrifuge separates solids from one or two liquid phases in one single continuous process. The centrifugal force compacts the solids and expels the surplus liquid. The dried solids then discharge from the bowl. The clarified liquid phase overflow the dam plates situated at the opposite end of the bow.
In Decanter Centrifuge this is done using centrifugal forces that can be well beyond 3000 times greater than gravity. When subject to such forces, the denser solid particles are processed outwards against the rotating bowl wall, while the less dense liquid phase forms a concentric inner layer. Different dam plates are used to vary the depth of the liquid - as required. The sediment formed by the solid particles is continuously removed by the screw conveyor, which rotates at a different speed than the bowl. As a result the solids are gradually ploughed out of the pond and up the conical beach.
Centrifuge is a general term. A decanter is just one style of centrifuge. other styles include Basket, peeler, pusher, disc, etc.
No you do not centrifuge blood for a CBC. This could cause issues when reading the results.
Centrifuge
exzample by spiining bottles in a machinr
Balance.
Small cylinders of liquids are placed in a disk, with their length in the plane of the disk. When the disk is spun at high revolutions per minute, a high centripetal force, equivalent to several gravities is generated along the length of the tube, thus settling out any heavier portions of the contents. In practice, the tube is inclined to the spin axis, to aid the sediment to flow down the surface of the tube.
yes

This procedure is based onto the difference between components densities.

Rum doesn't have a special decanter, but a wine decanter will do in a pinch.
There is an interesting relationship between plasma and whole blood. Whole blood contains plasma but plasma does not contain whole blood.
That is the correct spelling of decanter (liquid container).
That sounds like density centrifugation...So, a centrifuge?
A centrifuge has holes to insert the centrifuge tubes in, a cap to secure the tubes inside, and a lid to protect both the samples and experimenter in case of malfunction. There is also typically a way to set the centrifuge speed and a power switch to turn the centrifuge on and off.
Antonin Prandtl, however Gustof de Laval invented the first "Modern" centrifuge. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centrifuge
sedimentation is the tendency for particles in suspension to settle down when there is a stirring in it.this is due to there motion through the fluid in response to the force acting on them centrifugation is the process of increasing the level of sedimentation by using a centrifuge.
