In centrifugation, a high-speed rotating motion is used to force substances or particles with a greater density to the bottom.
It is used to separate suspensions or emulsions.
Centrifugation is a very sped up version of sedimentation. The underlying principle of centrifugation also relies upon a (small) difference in density
a few examples of centrifugation:
- Blood samples in a laboratory.
- Water in a washing machine.
