Categories Related to Desktop Centrifuges
A desktop centrifuge is a compact version of a standard centrifuge, designed for tabletop use. It uses centrifugal force to separate samples based on particle density. Desktop centrifuges vary in size and complexity, from simple models to those with functionalities akin to larger, floor-mounted units. They accommodate various types of vessels such as microplates, microtubes, test tubes, and centrifuge tubes.
Desktop centrifuges are primarily used for scientific experiments in:
They are essential in medical settings for immediate separation of plasma or serum post-blood collection.
Desktop centrifuges function by applying centrifugal force to separate substances based on specific gravity differences. This process rapidly separates particles, which would otherwise settle more slowly due to gravity alone. The centrifuge uses a rotor to generate this force, separating substances within samples based on their densities.
Desktop centrifuges come in various types:
These centrifuges are used for basic operations like spin-downs and centrifugal filtration, accommodating small plastic test tubes.
Offer similar functionalities to floor-standing models but in a compact form. These models may include cooling and heating options and are compatible with a range of rotor types.
Centrifugal force is proportional to the rotation radius and the square of the rotational speed. The conversion between g (gravity) and rpm (revolutions per minute) is essential for precise centrifugal operations.
The selection of a centrifuge model depends on the specific gravity difference of the substances to be separated. Low-speed centrifugation suffices for cell or blood cell separation, while high-speed centrifuges are necessary for DNA/RNA extraction.
Proper balance and container strength are crucial for safe centrifuge operation. Post-cooling drying is also important to prevent corrosion and ensure device longevity.
