centrifuges
Rapid rotation separators
Centrifuges are machines that spin materials at high speed to separate components by density.
The spinning creates centrifugal force that pushes heavier substances outward while lighter ones stay near the center.
Laboratory centrifuges separate blood into plasma and cells.
Industrial centrifuges extract uranium isotopes or separate cream from milk.
The verb means to subject something to this process: The samples were centrifuged for ten minutes.
