Uses Of A Refrigerated Centrifuge
Refrigerated centrifuges are only one of the many types of laboratory centrifuges. Refrigerated centrifuges are used to separate samples of different densities while under a consistent range of temperature. As such, it is essential that this kind of laboratory centrifuge run at maximum speeds while still maintaining a consistent level of temperature. Most refrigerated centrifuges maintain and control temperatures ranging anywhere between -20 and -40 degrees Celsius. Refrigerated centrifuges achieve speeds of more than 30,000 rounds per minute (RPM) with relative centrifugal force (RPC) of over 65,000 xg that is ideal for the separation of various biological molecules. They come in different configurations such as the swing bucket, fixed angle, or both. They also differ in sizes depending on use and application – some are smaller while others are slightly larger in capacity. Refrigerated centrifuges also come in varying levels of speed and holding capacities or the number of tubes it can hold at a given time.
