Centrifuge
A centrifuge is an equipment that puts an object in rotation around a fixed axis, applying a potentially strong force perpendicular to the axis of spin (outward). In a laboratory centrifuge that uses sample tubes, the radial acceleration causes denser particles to settle to the bottom of the tube, while low-density substances rise to the top.
