A centrifuge is a piece of science equipment commonly found in science classrooms or laboratories. A centrifuge uses a motor to rapidly spin liquid-filled tests tubes that are placed inside the centrifuge's rotor. There are different types of centrifuges, but they all use the same fundamental principle of separation by rotating a substance around a fixed axis. Regular chemical use in the laboratory environment makes it likely that your centrifuge will become dirty. To avoid potentially unwanted chemical reactions or contamination, you should clean a centrifuge after each use.
