A centrifuge is a mechanical or electromechanical device used to separate various components of a liquid. It achieves that by simulating a very high gravity environment inside the tubes by producing centrifugal forces by spinning very fast.

At I3T our laboratory is equipped with Centrifuge 5804R by eppendorf, which is an advanced high-speed benchtop centrifuge. Centrifuge 5804/5804 R is suitable for medium-throughput molecular biology applications. It handles all common tube formats from 0.2 mL to 250 mL as well as plates, offering a high versatility acknowledgement to a broad range of rotors and adapters.
