INTRODUCTION:Centrifugation is one of the most important and widely applied research cellular, techniques in bio-chemistry and molecular biology, pharmacy and in medicine.

Centrifugation is a process in which Mixture are separated using the centripetal force generated by spinning in a centrifuge. More dense components of the mixture move away from the axis of the centrifuge while less dense components of the mixture move towards the axis.

A particle,whether it is precipitate,a macromolucle or cell organelle when rotated at high speed is subjected to a centrifugal force. Centrifugal force is defined as F=mw2r Where F=intensity of centrifugal force m= effective mass of sedimenting particle w= angular velocity of rotation r = distance of migrating particles from central axis of rotation

Principles of Centrifuges

Basis of Separation : Size Shape Density

Methodology:

Utilizes density difference between the particles and the medium in which these are dispersed

Dispersed systems are subjected to artificially induced gravitational fields.

The centrifugal force causes the sedimentation of heavier solid particles.

Centrifugal Force :Consider a body of mass m rotating in a circular path of radius r at a velocity v. The force acting on the body in a radial direction is given by:

F =

Here, F = centrifugal force m = mass of the body v = velocity of body r = radius of circle of rotation

mv 2r

The same body will be acted upon by a gravitational force. It can be expressed as: G = mgwhere, G = gravitational force , and g = gravitational constant

Page 7: North south university

The centrifugal effect is the ratio of the two forces, so that: C = F / G = mv2 / mgr = v2 / grBut, v = 2πrn Where, n = speed of rotation.

So, F / G = (2πrn)2 / gr = 4π2r2n2 / gr = 2 π2n2d / g ……………(1)Where, d = diameter of rotation.

Page 8: North south university

The gravitational constant has a value of 9.807 m/s2, so that equation (1) may be

simplified to:

Centrifugal effect = 2.013 n2d

Provided that , n is expressed in s-1 and d is in meter.

From the equation, it can be drawn that the centrifugal effect is proportional

directly to the diameter, but is proportional to the square of the speed of the

rotation. Thus, if it is necessary to increase the centrifugal effect, it is of greater

advantages to use a centrifuge of the same size at a higher speed, rather than use

a larger centrifuge at the same speed of rotation.

Classification of Centrifugation

Page 10: North south university

Types of Centrifuges Centrifuges can be classified on the basis of :• speed• temperature • use

On the basis of speed:

The "speed" of a centrifuge is measured in rotation per minute, or rpm. Centrifuges are generally divided into 3 categories based on their maximum attainable speed:

Low-speed : to maximum of 5 x 103 rpm.High-speed : to maximum of 2 x 104 rpm. Ultracentrifuges : to maximum of 105 rpm. 

Page 11: North south university

On the basis of temperatur :

Refrigerated centrifuges have a built-in refrigeration unit surrounding the rotor, with a temperature sensor and thermostat permitting selection of a particular temperature or a permissible temperature range that is maintained during centrifugation. Many biological samples are temperature sensitive, and centrifugation in the cold (1-4oC) is frequently required. 

Centrifuges that are not refrigerated are normally used at whatever temperature the room they are in happens to be. This is typically described in research reports as "room temperature" or “ambient temperature”.

Types Of Centrifugation There are various types of centrifugation: 1. Differential Centrifugation 2. Isopycnic Centrifugation 3. Sucrose Gradient Centrifugation 4. Ultracentrifuges

Page 14: North south university

Differential CentrifugationDifferential centrifugation is a common procedure in microbiology and cytology used to separate certain organelles from whole cells for further analysis of specific parts of cells. In the process, a tissue sample is first homogenized to break the cell membranes and mix up the cell contents. The homogenate is then subjected to repeated centrifugations, each time removing the pellet and increasing the centrifugal force. Finally, purification may be done through  equilibrium sedimentation, and the desired layer is extracted for further analysis.

Page 15: North south university

Isopycnic Centrifugation: Isopycnic centrifugation, also known as density gradient centrifugation or equilibrium sedimentation is a technique used to separate molecules on the basis of buoyant density. (The word "isopycnic" means "equal density".) Typically, a "self-generating" density gradient is established via equilibrium sedimentation, and then analyze molecules concentrated as bands where the molecule density matches that of the surrounding solution.  It is often used to isolate nucleic acids such as DNA.

Page 16: North south university

Sucrose Gradient Centrifugation:

Sucrose gradient centrifugation is a type of centrifugation often used to purify enveloped viruses (with densities 1.1-1.2 g/cm³), ribosomes, membranes and cell organelles from crude cellular extract.  This method is also used to purify exosomes. There are two methods - equilibrium centrifugation and non-equilibrium centrifugation.

Page 17: North south university

Ultracentrifuge The ultracentrifuge is a centrifuge optimized for spinning a rotor at very high speeds, capable of generating acceleration as high as 2 000 000 g (approx. 19 600 km/s²). There are two kinds of ultracentrifuges, the preparative and the analytical ultracentrifuge. Both classes of instruments find important uses in molecular biology , biochemistry, and polymer science.

Page 18: North south university

There are different types of laboratory centrifuges:

Micro Centrifuges:Devices for small tubes from 0.2 ml to 2.0 ml (micro tubes), up to 96 well-plates, compact design, small footprint; up to 30,000 g

Clinical Centrifuges:Moderate-speed devices used for clinical applications like blood collection tubes

Multipurpose High-Speed Centrifuges:Devices for a broad range of tube sizes, high variability, big footprint

INDUSTRIAL CENTRIFUGE

Definition:An industrial centrifuge is a machine used for fluid/particle separation.

Types: Industrial centrifuges can be classified into two main types:

1.sedimentation centrifuge and

2. filtering centrifuges.

Page 20: North south university

TYPES:Sedimentation centrifuge:Sedimentation centrifuges use centrifugal force to separate solids from liquids as well as two liquids with different specific gravities.

Sedimentation centrifuges include decanter, disk-stack, solid-bowl basket and tubular bowl centrifuges.

Filtering Centrifuges:Filtering centrifuges use centrifugal force to pass a liquid through a filtration media, such as a screen or cloth while solids are captured by the filtering media. Filtering centrifuges primarily deal with perforate basket, pusher and peeler centrifuges.

Page 21: North south university

CONSTRUCTION:The main parts of the Centrifuge are Bearing and Shaft, Basket, Drive and Brake BEARING AND SHAFT:The Heavy duty bearing is chosen to withstand vibratory load and centrifugal force and the shaft is made up of suitable material and duly balanced independently without the basket for higher accuracy. BASKET: The basket is made up of adequate thickness so as to withstand the loads caused by the centrifugal forces . DRIVE: The drive consists of Motor mounted at the basket casing driven through V belt with provision of the tensioning the belts. BRAKE: The Centrifuge are fitted with external shoe brakes with brake liners.

Page 22: North south university

ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES:

Advantages:• Centrifuges have a clean appearance and have little to no odour problems.• Not only is the device easy to install and fast at starting up and shutting down,

but also only requires a small area for operation. They can be selected for different applications. The machine can operate with a higher capacity than smaller machines. The device is simple to operate . Centrifuge has more process flexibility and higher levels of performance.

• Disadvantages: The machine can be very noisy and can cause vibration. The device has a high-energy consumption due to high G-forces. The decanter centrifuge has high equipment capital costs.

SUMMARY

Page 29: North south university

CENTRIFUGATIONThe centrifuge is an instrument used in nearly every research lab across the globe. Centrifugation is the process by which a centrifuge is used to separate components of a complex mixture. By spinning laboratory samples at very high speeds, the components of a given mixture are subjected to centrifugal force, which causes more dense particles to migrate away from the axis of rotation and lighter ones to move toward it. These particles can sediment at the bottom of the tube into what’s known as a pellet, and this isolated specimen, or the remaining solution, the supernatant, can be further processed or analyzed.
