Density separation is based on the fact that different minerals have different densities. Thus, if a mixture of minerals with different densities can be placed in a liquid with an intermediate density, the grains with densities less than that of the liquid will float and grains with densities greater than the liquid will sink.

Centrifuge bowl for separating particles
InactiveUS20020142909A1Settling fastEasy to separateRotary centrifugesBiological testingWhite blood cellVolumetric Mass Density
A novel centrifuge bowl for processing particles suspended in a fluid is disclosed. The centrifuge bowl includes an annular cavity concentrically located about the rotation axis for suitably separating particles of similar densities but of different diameters. The cavity is preferably configured to have an annular cross sectional area, which is parallel to the rotation axis, that increases from a centrifugal side of the cavity toward a centripetal side of the cavity. This configuration allows to generate an almost rigidly rotating field upon rotation of the centrifuge bowl, which field helps to uniformly disperse Coriolis force throughout the circumference of the cavity to avoid turbulent mixing of the particles. In an alternative embodiment, the cavity is surrounded by an outer cavity for separating particles according to density before processing them through the inner cavity. This construction is particularly suitable for processing whole blood to harvest platelet-rich-plasma with reduced level of white blood cell contamination.
