Report Scope and Market Segmentation       

Market Definition

A laboratory centrifuge is a device used to separate components of a mixture based on their density by spinning the mixture at high speed. The centrifuge works on the principle of centrifugal force, which pushes heavier materials to the outer edge of the spinning container, allowing for the separation of different substances within the sample. Laboratory centrifuges are commonly used in scientific research, clinical laboratories, and industrial applications to isolate and purify cells, viruses, subcellular organelles, proteins, nucleic acids, and other biological molecules.
