Course: Biomedical Technician (14900) > Section: Performing Basic Laboratory Skills

Performance should include using a centrifuge and/or filtration to separate materials or cellular components.

Process/Skill Questions:

- What safety precautions must be followed while using the centrifuge?
- How does the centrifuge separate materials?
- How does a centrifuge differ from a filtration system in separating materials?
- What are examples of materials or components that can be separated mechanically (with a centrifuge and/or filtration)? Why might they need to be separated?
