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

What piece of equipment is used to obtain ribosomes from biochemical analysis?

A centrifuge is typically used to separate ribosomes from a cell lysate based on their size and density during biochemical analysis. This equipment spins samples at high speeds to create a centrifugal force that allows ribosomes to be isolated from other cellular components.


What is the base for separating mixtures using a centrifuge?

This procedure is based onto the difference between components densities.


What are the instruments used by the biologists?

ultracentrifuge


To separate the parts of a cell by differences in density a biologist would use what?

an ultracentrifuge


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 is the difference between plasma and whole blood?

There is an interesting relationship between plasma and whole blood. Whole blood contains plasma but plasma does not contain whole blood.


How can you speed up sedimentation?

To speed up sedimentation, you can increase the gravitational force acting on the particles by using a centrifuge or a higher-speed centrifuge. Additionally, reducing the particle size or increasing the density difference between the particles and the liquid can help accelerate sedimentation. Lastly, using flocculants or coagulants can promote particle aggregation, which can lead to faster settling.


Who developed the centrifuge?

Antonin Prandtl, however Gustof de Laval invented the first "Modern" centrifuge. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centrifuge


How motor in centrifuge works?

centrifuge is a system which is used to separate the water from the diesel.


What is centrifuge swing-out rotor?

A Centrifuge Swing-out Rotor is a part of a centrifuge which attaches to the motor and holds the sample tubes. A swing-out, as opposed to a Fixed Angle rotor, has holders that move from vertical to horizontal as the centrifuge speeds up.


What is the centrifuge tube used for?

A centrifuge is used for separating components in a liquid that have different weights.


How much is a centrifuge?

A good centrifuge, such as the Eppendorf 5702 Series, will cost you upwards of $2,000.
