What Is the Function of a Rotor in a Laboratory Centrifuge?

The rotor is the central component of a laboratory centrifuge, responsible for converting rotational motion into the centrifugal force that drives sample separation. Its design determines how samples are positioned, how force is applied, and how particles sediment, directly affecting efficiency and accuracy. Rotor geometry also influences pellet formation and sample integrity, making proper selection essential. Overall, the rotor plays a key role in ensuring reliable, safe, and reproducible centrifugation results.

Water Purity in Laboratories: Types, Uses & Standards

Water is a fundamental reagent in laboratory environments, yet it remains one of the most overlooked sources of analytical error.
