A high-speed centrifuge is a laboratory instrument used to separate components of a heterogeneous mixture based on their densities.High-speed centrifuges are capable of achieving very high rotational speeds, often reaching tens of thousands of revolutions per minute (RPM).They are widely used in various fields such as biochemistry, molecular biology, microbiology, and clinical diagnostics for tasks like separating cell organelles, isolating biomolecules like DNA, RNA, and proteins, and purifying viruses and subcellular components.
