So that the heavier parts of a liquid (e.g. cream in the milk) are forced to go to the bottom of the test tube.

What color coded test tubes are used in centrifuge?

Different laboratories may use different color codes for test tubes depending on their specific protocols. However, a common color coding for test tubes used in centrifuges is as follows: red for serum tubes, lavender for EDTA tubes, green for heparin tubes, and blue for citrate tubes.


The difference of centrifuge and test tube?

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.


What is the function of the centrifuge step?

To achieve separation. What were you putting into the centrifuge? I know in Biochem usually centrifugation is a preparative step performed to isolate a single organelle of a cell. But centrifugation can also be analyical, for instance if you wanted to measure the density of whatever substance is in the tube.


What are the big test tubes called?

Bigger, fatter test tubes are usually called boiling tubes.


What is the name of all the test tube holders used in the lab?

They are called: - Test tubes - Cultural tubes - Sample tubes

What phlebotomy tubes do not get spun in the centrifuge?

Gray top tubes with sodium fluoride/potassium oxalate additive should not be spun in the centrifuge as it can alter test results by causing hemolysis. These tubes are usually used for glucose testing and need to be kept upright to prevent mixing with cells.

What spins test tubes holding mixtures of disrupted cells at various speeds?

A centrifuge spins test tubes holding mixtures of disrupted cells at high speeds to separate the components based on their density. This process, called centrifugation, allows the different cell components to settle at different levels within the test tube, aiding in their isolation and analysis.
