What Equipment is Used for Centrifugation in Histology?
The primary equipment used is the centrifuge, which comes in various types, such as:
- Microcentrifuges: Used for small volume samples. - High-speed Centrifuges: Suitable for larger volumes and higher speeds. - Ultracentrifuges: Used for very high-speed applications, capable of separating the smallest of particles like ribosomes and viruses.
Each type of centrifuge has specific rotors designed for different applications, enhancing their versatility in histological studies.
