A centrifuge is a device for separating particles from a solution according to their size, shape, density, viscosity of the medium and rotor speed.
In a solution, particles whose density is higher than that of the solvent sink (sediment), and particles that are lighter than it float to the top. The greater the difference in density, the faster they move. If there is no difference in density (isopycnic conditions), the particles stay steady.

To take advantage of even tiny differences in density to sepa¬rate various particles in a solution, gravity can be replaced with the much more powerful “centrifu¬gal force” provided by a centrifuge. This technique plays crucial role in biochemistry or biotechno¬logy as it is non-dispensable part of one or the other step in every method involved in biological study right from the separation of cell organelles to complex experiments involving separation of sub-cellular fractions.
