Tests
A method for virus culture and detection in which a virus sample is mixed with a susceptible cell type and then centrifuged into a single layer of cells. Following a short incubation, viral growth is determined using immunological detection techniques.
Technology
A process where a rotating machine exposes a specimen to centrifugal force. This process can be used to remove moisture from a specimen, to subject an organism to increased gravitational forces, or to separate the components of heterogeneous mixtures based on density differences.
Technology
A method of separating macromolecules by either their differential rate of sedimentation in a centrifugal gradient or their differential buoyancy in a density gradient. (from biology-text.com)

Glossary Term
A purification method that binds nucleic acids to a silica membrane in a spin column through centrifugation or vacuum. It is a common manual and mid-throughput format with well-understood consumable logistics, but is less automation-friendly than magnetic bead approaches.
Glossary Term
The liquid lying above a liquid, solid or semi-solid residue, which is separated by crystallization, precipitation or centrifugation of a biological sample.
