A low-speed centrifuge is a laboratory instrument used to separate particles from a solution based on their density, size, and shape. Unlike high-speed centrifuges used for tasks such as DNA isolation or protein purification, low-speed centrifuges operate at lower revolutions per minute (RPM) and generate lower centrifugal forces. These centrifuges typically come with a range of rotors and adapters to accommodate different tube sizes and sample volumes. They are essential tools in many scientific disciplines due to their versatility and gentle processing capabilities.
