centrifugation machines spin a sample at up to somewhere around the 2000g mark. Some go much higher, some much lower. An ultracentrifuge kicks *** compared to this though. run samples at 200,000g.

Same with most biological machines, a microtome cant cut as thin as an ultramicrotome etc. ultra just makes it do its job to a much more refined or powerful degree

Difference between centrifuge and decanter centrifuge?

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.

What are the parts of a centrifuge and their functions?

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.

What is the difference between sedimentation and centrifugation?

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.
