DISK STACK CENTRIFUGE

•A centrifuge is a piece of equipment, generally driven by a motor, that puts an object in rotation around a fixed axis, applying force perpendicular to the axis.

•Essentially works like a clarifier providing better control over residence time.

Purpose of Centrifugation

• Since ours is a fermentation based bio process, the ISOLATION and the purification of the Insulin is the immediate goal once the fermentation step is concluded.

• In Insulin production, used to separate desired proteins from unwanted biomass.

How does it Work?

• Disks are spaced out at 2mm.• Spins rapidly exerting upto

12000 G force.• Solid collects at the bottom

liquids move up.
