How to Centrifuge a Syringe?

Published in Laboratory Procedures 1 min read

Centrifuging a syringe is done to remove tiny bubbles from the fluid inside. Here's how to do it:

Steps to Centrifuge a Syringe

  1. Prepare the Syringe: Install a tip cap and a barrel storage cap on the syringe. This prevents leakage during centrifugation.
  2. Position in Centrifuge: Place the syringe in the centrifuge with the tip pointing downwards.
  3. Centrifuge: Run the centrifuge at medium RPM (revolutions per minute) for a few minutes. This should be enough to remove all air bubbles from the fluid.

In summary: The procedure involves capping the syringe, positioning it tip-down in the centrifuge, and running the centrifuge at medium speed for a few minutes to eliminate air bubbles.
