Centrifugation
Centrifugation
Centrifuges provide a simple way to separate materials that are suspended in a liquid. By spinning samples at high speeds, materials with different densities are separated from one another by centrifugal forces. This technique is often used in biological applications for, say, separating the constituent parts of blood.

LOCATION
Ink Synthesis Suite
Nanoparticulate ink synthesis suite
Materials Node
University of Newcastle
Description
The nanoparticulate synthesis suite allows the production of surfactant based nanoparticles. Using a series of ultrasonic horns, a centrifuge and heating elements polymeric materials are combined using surfactants to produce nanoparticles of varying size, shape, and performance.
Related Information
Typical particle sizes range from 20 to 200 nm. Batch processing from 1 mL to 100 mL is available.
