Abstract

The word centrifuge comes from the Latin word centrum which means centre and fugere which means to escape. The centrifuge is designed to use the centrifugal force generated in rotational movements to separate the constitutive elements of a mixture. There is a wide range of centrifuges capable of serving specific industry and research needs. This chapter focuses on standing centrifuges normally used in public health and clinical laboratories.
