- Protein bound to bentonite removed efficiently.
A centrifuge does the same thing as gravity, only much faster.
Solids in suspension will eventually settle out of a liquid due to gravity.
In a centrifuge, gravity or the acceleration of gravity (g’s) is magnified up to 15,000 times by centrifugal force.
The heavier or larger a particle in suspension, the easier it is to remove through the use of a centrifuge.
