Abstract
If a liquid contains particles, the particles will eventually sink to the bottom under the force of gravity. A centrifuge more rapidly separates particles from liquid by rotating a liquid to simulate a higher force of gravity. Either a liquid/liquid or a liquid/solid mixture can be separated with the substance of higher density migrating towards the outer part of the centrifuge. Centrifuges vary in size, in speed of the rotation, how long they will run, temperature and angles of rotation of the samples.
