Answer:
Centrifugation is a technique used for the separation of particles from a solution according to their size, shape, density, viscosity of the medium and rotor speed.
The particles are suspended in a liquid medium and placed in a centrifuge tube. The tube is then placed in a rotor and spun at a define speed.
Separation through sedimentation could be done naturally with the earth gravity, nevertheless, it would take ages. Centrifugation is making that natural process much faster.
Rotation of the rotor about a central axis generates a centrifugal force upon the particles in the suspension.
Which factors have an influence on centrifugation :
Density of both samples and solution
Temperature/viscosity
Distance of particles displacement
Rotation speed

Answer:
Centrifugation is the separation process that relies on the action of centrifugal force to separate particles in a solid–liquid mixture into two distinct phases consisting of the sediment and centrifugate (also called supernatant liquid).
