What is centrifuges?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

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.

Answer 3

Centrifuges are laboratory devices used to separate materials of different densities by spinning them at high speeds. As the materials spin, centrifugal force causes them to separate into layers based on their density, with denser materials moving to the outside and lighter materials collecting towards the center. This process is commonly used in various scientific and medical applications to isolate components such as cells, proteins, or DNA.

Answer 4

Separating a mixture by rotating the container quickly. The heavier parts of the mixture move to the outside of the spinning container

Answer 5

The brainstem.
