centrifuged
Separated by spinning
Centrifuged means subjected to a centrifuge—a machine that spins samples at high speed to separate components by density.
Blood is centrifuged to isolate plasma from cells.
The lab tech centrifuged the samples before analysis.
The past tense of centrifuge, it appears almost exclusively in scientific and medical contexts.
