Centrifuge Bucket

A centrifuge is a laboratory equipment used for the separation of heterogeneous mixtures or samples. It is driven by a motor, which spins liquid samples at high speed. There are various types of centrifuges, depending on the size and the sample capacity. Laboratory centrifuges work based on the sedimentation principle, where the centripetal acceleration is used to separate substances of greater and lesser density. Centrifuge buckets are centrifuge attachments or inserts for use with swinging bucket rotors. It is designed to provide support for items being centrifuged such as tubes and blood bags. Common models include round, conical, and rectangular.
