Results for tag: "Centrifugal Separator"

Centrifugal separators are laboratory equipment used to separate particles from a liquid or gas mixture based on their size, shape, and density. They are commonly used in the food, pharmaceutical, and chemical industries to separate solids from liquids, and to separate two immiscible liquids. Centrifugal separators are also used to separate cells, proteins, and other biological materials. Centrifugal separators are typically composed of a rotating bowl, a stationary bowl, and a drive motor. The rotating bowl is filled with the mixture to be separated, and the drive motor spins the bowl at high speeds, creating centrifugal force. This force causes the heavier particles to settle to the bottom of the bowl, while the lighter particles remain suspended in the liquid. The stationary bowl is used to collect the separated particles. Centrifugal separators are available in a variety of sizes and configurations, and can be customized to meet specific application requirements. They are also available in manual and automated versions. Some companies in the centrifugal separator market include Thermo Fisher Scientific, Eppendorf, Sartorius, and Cole-Parmer.
