Centrifugation is a process that uses centrifugal force to separate mixtures. A centrifuge is a device that rotates an object, such as a rotor, around a fixed axis and is usually powered by an electric motor. A centrifuge operates on the theory of sedimentation, which states that substances separate according to density under the influence of gravitational force (g-force). Isopycnic, ultrafiltration, density gradient, phase separation, and pelleting are examples of different methods of separation. A centrifuge is a system that separates different components of a fluid using centrifugal force. This is accomplished by spinning the fluid at a high speed inside a bottle, separating fluids of various densities (for example, cream from milk) or liquids from solids. It operates by causing denser substances and particles to travel in a radial direction outward. Less dense objects are displaced and moved to the middle at the same time. Denser particles settle to the bottom of sample tubes in a laboratory centrifuge, while low-density compounds rise to the top due to radial acceleration. First and foremost, A centrifuge is a high-capacity filter that removes contaminants from the fluid's main body. Centrifuges are classified into two categories: filtration and sedimentation centrifuges. The drum is perforated and inserted with a filter, such as a filter cloth, wire mesh, or lot film, for filtration or the so-called screen centrifuge. From the inside to the outside, the suspension flows through the filter and the drum with the perforated wall. This keeps the rigid material in place and allows it to be extracted. The method of removal varies depending on the form of centrifuge, such as manually or on a regular basis. The following are examples of common types: Inverting filter centrifuges, Sliding discharge centrifuges, Pendulum centrifuges, Sedimentation centrifuges, etc. Those who are interested to submit their manuscript in our journal for publication, the can submit it either online through given link: https://www.longdom.org/submissions/clinical-chemistry-laboratory-medicine.html or send it to us as an email attachment to below given mail id.
