Different parts of blood can be separated with a centrifuge.Samples in test tubes for testing are spun in a centrifuge to separate the red cells from plasma. A pipette is used to aspirate the portion being tested.

Donor blood in bags are also spun in centrifuges to separate red cells, buffy coat, and plasma. Separation is usually accomplished by squishing the bag so the supernatant is squeezed through tubing at the top of the bag.

The rpm and time determines what level of separation is attained.
