In the context of Histology, continuous flow rotors are primarily used for cell separation and tissue homogenization. When preparing tissue samples, it is crucial to isolate specific cell types or remove unwanted components. Continuous flow rotors facilitate this by allowing for continuous sample processing, which increases efficiency and throughput. The samples are introduced into the rotor chamber, where centrifugal force separates the components based on their density. The separated components can then be collected for further analysis.
