The standing centrifuge is a typical instrument that makes use of centrifugal force to separate liquids of different densities or solids from liquids. It has a self-locking rotor system that makes it easy to place the rotor onto the drive shaft. High efficient temperature control and rotors can be maintained at 4°C at high speed.
What kind of research is applicable / suitable for this equipment?
- For anyone who wishes to separate a mixture of different density.
Any chargeable costs for equipment usage?
No. *Consumables (tubes and bottles) will not be supplied. Researchers will need to purchase their own consumables.
