What is Centrifugation?
Centrifugation is the technique of separating components where the centrifugal force/ acceleration causes the denser molecules to move towards the periphery while the less dense particles move to the centre. Centrifugation is a technique used for the separation of particles from a solution according to their size, shape, density, viscosity of the medium and rotor speed. The process of centrifugation relies on the perpendicular force created when a sample is rotated about a fixed point.
