Centrifugation is the process of separating two immiscible liquids. The fluid which is above the sediment after centrifugation, is called the supernatant.

sediments made of larger particles will have larger spaces between them, and thus allow greater fluid flow.


What is Kinematic similarity?

A relationship between fluid-flow systems in which corresponding fluid velocities and velocity gradients are in the same ratios at corresponding locations.


What is the clear liquid above the sediment called?

The fluid above the sediment after centrifugation is called the supernatant.


How does absorbancy work?

The fluid just settles in the pores (air pockets/holes)of the material.


What does sedimentation produces?

Sedimentation is the process where particles in suspension can settle out of the fluid where they have been transported, and begin to rest on a barrier.
