DURAN® centrifuge tube, with round bottom, 16 x 100 mm, 12 ml

DURAN® centrifuge tube, round bottom, 12 ml, Ø 16 x 100 mm One of the most important basic process engineering methods is the separation of mixtures of substances. This working method includes centrifugation, which exploits the concept of mass inertia. A mixture of substances to be separated is filled into centrifuge tubes, placed in a centrifuge and set in rotation. Due to the high speed of rotation, heavier particles are pushed outward faster and farther than the lighter ones. In this way, a separation of substances is achieved on the basis of the mass or density of the individual components of the substance. Special features and advantages: Very resistant to mechanical stress The round bottom allows solids to settle/separate on a larger surface Application: Centrifugation, separation of different particles based on different mass inertia (density), separation of substances by utilizing the centrifugal force
