It is designed for small sample volumes, usually between 0.5 to 2 mL.
Microcentrifuge
They are commonly used in molecular biology and forensic labs for DNA and protein purification.
Microcentrifuge
This can handle a larger sample volume and is versatile, often used for blood separation, urine analysis, and other routine applications.
Benchtop Centrifuge (Tabletop)
This reaches higher speeds of up to around 30,000 RPM and are used for separating smaller particles like cellular organelles and proteins in a more concentrated form.
High-speed centrifuge
Operates at extremely high speeds of up to 150,000 RPM to separate very small particles such as ribosomes, viruses, and DNA fragments.
Ultracentrifuge
This centrifuge is crucial in genetic research and advanced forensic analysis.
Ultracentrifuge
This keeps samples cool during centrifugation, preventing heat-sensitive components like enzymes or cells from degrading.
