Open in App
Solution

The principle used in the centrifugation technique:

  • The principle of the centrifugation technique is that the denser particles of a mixture are forced to the bottom and the lighter particles stay at the top when spun rapidly.
  • In this method, we apply centrifugal force to separate the mixtures or particles from a solution. During this process, the denser particles to the bottom and the lighter particles stay at the top and become separate.

This is a technique used to separate the components of a heterogeneous mixture of colloidal particles from the solvent by using the principle of centrifugal force.
