A centrifuge is an instrument that separates particles suspended in liquid by spinning them at high speed. It works on the principle of centrifugal force, pushing heavier particles to the bottom while lighter ones remain on top. In medical labs, it is commonly used to separate blood into plasma, serum, and cells. Microbiologists use it to isolate bacteria, viruses, and parasites for further analysis. It is equally important in biochemistry labs for purifying DNA, proteins, and enzymes. By ensuring well-separated and uncontaminated samples, the centrifuge provides reliable and accurate test results.
