Centrifugation Lab Centrifugation Lab INTRODUCTION The purpose of this experiment was to separate and identify the lower density particles in a homogenous mixture. Thus, the objective of the exercise was to realize that there is more than one structure in the cytoplasm and to isolate them using homogenization and differential centrifugation. In doing so, one can recognize and identify these particles by how the separate—which can be affected by density, shape, viscosity, the speed and/or diameter of the centrifuge. By examining the effects of the centrifugation, it allows you to see these principles for yourself, which gives you a better understanding of how the exercise works.
