A centrifuge works by rotating at rapid speeds, thereby separating substances using the power of centripetal force The force applied can reach several hundred or several thousand times that of the earth's gravity

Answer: they are used in various laboratories to separate fluids, gases, or liquids based on density. In research and clinical laboratories, centrifuges are often used for cell, organelle, virus, protein, and nucleic acid purification.
