We demonstrate the use of centrifugation for efficient separation of colloidal gold nanorods from a mixture of nanorods and …

Centrifugation is a term used to describe a method of separating mixtures using spinning and centrifugal force. Several characteristics can separate particles during centrifugation, including size, shape, density, and viscosity. A centrifuge is a lab instrument for the density-based separation of fluids, gas, or liquid.. Centrifuge
