The T3/G3 centrifuges are designed for laboratory use.
They will separate the components of fluids into layers of varying
density by subjecting them to high forces.
Centrifugal force provided by the centrifuge can also be used to drive
solvents and low molecular weight solutes through the membrane of a
filtering device. Retained macrosolutes will therefore be found above
the membrane.
