How Does Centrifugal Force Affect Sample Preparation?
During sample preparation, centrifugal force helps in several ways:
Pelleting: Helps in forming a pellet of cells or organelles at the bottom of the centrifuge tube, facilitating easy extraction. Gradient Separation: Utilizes density gradients to separate components based on their buoyant density. Clarification: Removes debris and unwanted components, resulting in a clearer sample for analysis.
