Why do centrifuges need refrigerant?
- kazinator 4y agoYou probably have to sometimes spin biological materials that have to be kept cool.
- rleigh 4y agoBecause they are temperature-controlled and contain a refrigeration unit. In biological and medical applications, you might want to have the samples kept cool for stability. You'll transfer them from a fridge or on ice into the cooled centrifuge and back again after you've spun it down. Since in these big units the rotor is often a big hunk of anodised aluminium, it also helps maintain temperature stability.
