A tapered and specially-engineered test tube specifically for centrifuge work, designed to resist the high G-forces induced by the centrifugal forces. They are mainly used in medical work to centrifuge human blood for test purposes. despite all the potential hazards I have never heard of a centrifuge accident or explosion if used properly with all safety devices employed. there was a tale in a Gotham paper of a centrifuge (Open and uncovered) blowing up with an induced chemical reactionk, certtainly not SOP. a teacher or student had some mild splash burns.

∙ 15y agoA centrifuge is a machine that spins test tubes to separate out substances within a test tube, it breaks whatever specimen is in the tube down further so more testing can be done. A test tube is simply a small glass container shaped like a cylinder capable of holding liquids, solids, or gases. 1. noun- an apparatus that rotates at high speed and by centrifugal force separates substances of different densities, as milk and cream. #1 is actual definition of centrifuge.

DO YOU CENTRIFUGE RED TUBE?
To centrifuge a red tube you will have to run the blood through and then put it back into the body. The red tube is used to collect plasma.
What tube is a protime test drawn in?
The Pro Thrombin is also called a PT/INR and it is drawn in a light blue sodium citrate tube which is then spun down in a centrifuge to separate the plasma from the red cells and the plasma is used to run the test.
What is difference between tube coagulase and slide coagulase test?
tube coagulase is done in test tube while slide coagulase is done on slide.thnk you all! cheeres!
Where is centrifuging used?
A centrifuge is used in labs to accelerate gravity in a test tube to separate suspensions. For example if you put a test tube of muddy water in a centrifuge, the machine will spin it down until the water is clear and the soot has settled on the bottom.
Why test tubes in a centrifuge are at an angle and not vertical?
The angle of the test tubes in a centrifuge helps to ensure that the samples remain at the bottom of the tubes during centrifugation. This minimizes the risk of the samples being mixed together or contaminated by contact with the cap or upper part of the tube. Additionally, the angle allows for more efficient separation of different components within the sample by facilitating the formation of distinct layers.
What machine spins the test tube?
Centrifuge
What test tube is used for separating sediment from urine?
The tube is not so important . It's the centrifuge that does the work.
An instrument used to separate and compact a precipitate in a test tube is called?
Centrifuge
What vacutainer would you use for a blood chemistry test?
A centrifuge tube would be useful, but a regular test tube will suffice.
DO YOU CENTRIFUGE RED TUBE?
To centrifuge a red tube you will have to run the blood through and then put it back into the body. The red tube is used to collect plasma.
What is the centrifuge tube used for?
A centrifuge is used for separating components in a liquid that have different weights.
How do you describe a centrifuge tube?
A centrifuge tube is a tool that is used in laboratory research. They are tapered tubes that come in a variety of sizes and are made of plastic or glass.
How long do you centrifuge blood?
Depends on what kind of tube/test you are performing? 10-15 min usually. 20 min on rare tests.
Why do you need a place a second tube into centrifuge?
Balance.
How did Earth's layers develop?
Gravity and Centrifugal force causes the layers to settle, in a similar way to why a centrifuge causes blood in a test tube to split into different groups of material like platelets ect.
What tube is a protime test drawn in?
The Pro Thrombin is also called a PT/INR and it is drawn in a light blue sodium citrate tube which is then spun down in a centrifuge to separate the plasma from the red cells and the plasma is used to run the test.
What is the wooden stick used for after the centrifuge of a red top tube?
To beat you if you haven't balanced the centrifuge before spinning, lol.
