Question

In which of the following types of centrifugation, the components of separation are based on size, shape and density?

• A. Differential centrifugation
• B. Zonal centrifugation
• C. Density gradient centrifugation
• D. All of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is A Differential centrifugation

In differential centrifugation particles of different density, size and shape in a suspension sediment at different rates, with the larger and denser particles sedimenting faster. These sedimentation rates can be increased by using centrifugal force. Thus the correct answer is 'Differential centrifugation'.
