Centrifugation

What this lab helps me to achieve

• pellet solid samples from solution
• separate cell lysate or tissue lysate based on size, shape, density or viscosity
• isolate small particles such as ribosomes, proteins and viruses
• isolate cellular components on density gradients
• isolate organelles and membranes using differential centrifugation

Who can use it

• training will be provided for high and ultra-speed centrifuges
• all STEM students, academics, visiting researchers.

What instruments are there

• microcentrifuges to process small volumes
• bench-top centrifuges
• high-speed centrifuges
• ultra-speed centrifuges
