Centrifugation is the ‫قسم تقنيات التمريض‬
process
where a mixture is separated
through spinning. It is used to
separate skim milk from whole
milk, water from your clothes, and
blood cells from your blood
plasma
Centrifuges are used mostly in
science. In this
— application, centrifugal force
the force from spinning that moves
— things away from the center
separates liquids that have
,different weights. For example
centrifuge is used to separate
ablood cells from plasma cells
: Types of Centrifuges
 :Small Bench Centrifuges •
Large Capacity Refrigerated •
:Centrifuges
High Speed Refrigerated •
:Centrifuges
:Ultra Centrifuges •
:Fixed Angle Rotors •
:Vertical Tube Rotors •
:Zonal Rotors •
:Elutriator Rotors •
Principle of centrifuge
The centrifuge works using the
sedimentation principle, where the
centripetal acceleration causes
denser substances and particles to
move outward in the radial

direction. At the same time, objects

that are less dense are displaced
.and move to the center
?How long should a centrifuge run
minutes 15-10
Do not allow the blood to clot with
.the tube in a horizontal position
Do not allow the tube to stand
more than one hour
before centrifuging. Centrifuge th
e tube for 10-15 minutes at about
.xg 1800-1300
The centrifuge RPMs will differ
depending on the centrifuge
:Application of centrifugation are

Used in diagnostic laboratories for •

.blood and urine test

Used in dairies and home to •

.separate butter from cream

Used in a washing machines to •

squeeze out water from wet clothes

What type of mixtures can be

:separated by centrifugation

Centrifugation separates the

components of heterogeneous

mixtures. These

liquids in liquids, solids

 include , and solids

in liquids

.and liquids in gases

Centrifugation uses centrifugal

force to move dense components

to the outside of the container

Below are some common

:separation methods

Paper Chromatography. This •

method is often used in the food

... .industry

Filtration. This is a more common •

method of separating an insoluble

... .solid from a liquid

... .Evaporation •

... .Simple distillation •

Fractional distillation •

?How is a centrifuge maintained

First, you should clean

your centrifuge daily. This

includes cleaning both the exterior •

.and the interior of the centrifuge

A sponge, warm water, and a mild
detergent can be used to clean
