Centrifuges decanting low-speed centrifuge is a specialized laboratory centrifuge designed for the separation of substances in liquid suspensions or solutions at relatively low speeds. It operates on the principle of centrifugal force, gently accelerating samples to separate heavier particles or sediment from the liquid phase. Unlike high-speed centrifuges that are used for tasks like DNA isolation or protein purification, low-speed decanting centrifuges are ideal for applications where a more gentle separation process is required, such as separating cellular components from culture media, precipitates from solutions, or blood cells from plasma. They are commonly used in research, clinical, and industrial laboratories for their ability to clarify and process samples without causing damage or alteration to delicate particles.
