Centrifugación for the laboratory

Centrifugation is a separation technique that applies centrifugal force generated by high-speed rotation to separate the components of a mixture according to their density, size or shape. It ranges from benchtop and floor-standing centrifuges to ultracentrifuges and analytical centrifuges, with or without refrigeration. Separation occurs because particles of greater density, greater mass or different shape migrate toward the outside of the rotor at different rates, forming a sediment (pellet) and leaving a supernatant, or distributing themselves in discrete bands when a density gradient is used.

centrifugación guide

It makes it possible to sediment and isolate phases: separation of cells, blood, precipitates, nucleic acids, viruses, organelles and proteins. It cuts across clinical diagnostics, biopharmaceuticals, molecular biology, quality control and research.

How to choose centrifugación

  • To select the centrifuge that best fits your laboratory's requirements
  • It is important to consider the type of tubes and vessels you will work with
  • The speeds at which you need to centrifuge
  • The rotor type
  • The temperature in order to determine whether refrigeration is necessary
  • Whether you need to quantify sediments
  • And the volumes to be centrifuged
