Liquid separation principle
The centrifuge generates centrifugal force through high-speed rotation, which causes different components in the mixed liquid to separate into layers according to their density differences. The components with higher density move to the edge of the centrifuge container under the action of centrifugal force, forming the outer layer, while the components with lower density move to the center, forming the inner layer. In this way, the originally mixed liquids are separated. Expertly designed to efficiently separate mixed liquids based on density, our centrifuge generates centrifugal force through high-speed rotation so that the heavier components settle to the edge, forming an outer layer, and lighter components move to the center, creating the inner layer.
Wave Separation Operation Method
The specific operation method of the centrifuge to achieve liquid-liquid separation usually includes the following steps:
1. Sample loading: Pour the mixed liquid to be separated into the centrifuge’s rotating tube (or centrifugal cup), and ensure that the container is well sealed to prevent liquid leakage during centrifugation. It’s a simple process of adding your liquid to the centrifuge and securing the container tightly for mess-free separation.
2. Rotation: Start the centrifuge and rotate the rotating tube containing the mixed liquid at a set speed. The choice of rotation speed depends on the properties of the mixed liquid and the required separation effect. During the rotation process, the centrifugal force acts on the mixed liquid to cause the components of different densities to be stratified. An essential tool in any laboratory, this centrifuge provides optimal mixing and separation capabilities at the touch of a button. The rotational speed can be easily adjusted based on the specifics of the mixture, ensuring efficient and precise results every time. With centrifugal force at work, components of varying densities are effortlessly separated for a clear and accurate analysis.
3. Separation: After a period of rotation, the different components in the mixed liquid are separated under the action of centrifugal force. At this time, the separation effect can be judged by observing the stratification of the liquid in the centrifuge tube. Swiftly and easily separate mixed liquids with the power of centrifugal force. Keep an eye on the stratification in the centrifuge tube to judge the separation effect.
4. Collection: After stopping the centrifuge, use appropriate tools (such as pipettes, droppers, etc.) to take out the liquids of different layers separately. During the collection process, it is necessary to avoid mixing of liquids of different layers to ensure the separation effect. With precise control and the right tools, you can carefully separate the different layers of liquid to achieve maximum separation. Avoiding any mixing is essential for optimal separation results.
