Definitions

A centrifuge is an instrument, generally driven by a motor, that puts an object in rotation around a fixed axis, applying force perpendicular to the axis. The centrifuge works using the sedimentation principle, where the centripetal acceleration is used to separate substances of greater and lesser density. A device with a rapidly rotating container that applies centrifugal force to its contents
