Centrifuges

Centrifuge: A motor-driven device that rotates objects around a fixed axis, applying force perpendicular to the axis. Centripetal acceleration separates substances of greater and lesser density. There are many different kinds of centrifuges, some quite specialized. Centrifugation protocols typically specify acceleration to be applied to the sample, rather than specifying a rotational speed. Acceleration is often measured as multiples of g, acceleration due to gravity at the Earth's surface.
