The CPS DC24000UHR high resolution disk centrifuge with automatic sample injection system is used to measure particles in a liquid medium. This centrifuge separates particles by size using centrifugal sedimentation within an optically clear spinning disc in sucrose gradient. Particles sediment within the optically clear, rotating disc; when they approach the edge of the rotating disc, the particles block/scatter a portion of a light beam that passes through the disc. The change in light intensity is continuously recorded and is converted by the operating software into a particle size distribution. This instrument is suitable for analyzing the size of a wide range of particle types, such as metal, polymer, protein, lipid, virus, as well as cells and cellular fragments.
