What is the main purpose of ultracentrifuges in bioprocessing?

To conduct colloidal research

How is a Filtration Centrifuge classified based on its mechanism of separation?

By the porous medium through which liquid passes

In bioprocessing, why should centrifugation be closely partnered with other process equipment?

To integrate the entire process effectively

What factor determines the settling of particles under centrifugation?

Speed of centrifugation and time spent by particles at that speed

What is the main focus of Exercise No.1 mentioned in the text?

Studying the effect of increasing centrifugal times on yeast cell particles

What is the purpose of removing bacteria when preparing bacterial enzymes?

To prevent contamination and obtain pure enzymes

How does a sedimentation centrifuge function in separating different phases?

By using a porous wall that retains solid phase but allows liquid to pass through

What should be fixed when observing the settling of particles under centrifugation?

The density and size of particles to be settled

Learn about centrifugal force and sedimentation centrifuges in this quiz. Understand the principle of centrifugal force, which is given by F=mω2r, and how sedimentation centrifuges separate particles based on differences in density. Explore the classification of centrifuges based on their mechanism of separation.
