Answer is: It was a homogeneous mixture.

For example, a centrifuge is used to separate components from blood.

This technique is also used for heterogeneous mixtures.

Centrifugation is a technique using centrifugal force to separate particles from a mixture according to their size, shape and density.

The principle is that the denser particles are forced to the bottom and the lighter particles stay at the top.
