Centrifugation is an important step in many methods used to recover or analyze specific components in foods. It is also an essential step for preparation of materials to be incorporated into foods during processing. As a result, it is used by most researchers at some point and when working with food components, the large scale floor model centrifuges are commonly used. This application is to replace the two floor model centrifuges in the department as they no longer meet the safety standards for this type of centrifuge and are frequently in need of repair. The newer centrifuges have improved shielding for the high-speed rotors and no longer use CFC (chlorofluorocarbons) in the refrigeration system. One of the centrifuges requested is a BioSafe model that can be used for microbial culture research while minimizing the risk to those operating the centrifuge or in the vicinity of the centrifuge. This equipment will support a range of research projects that include general sample preparation, protein purification, recovery of bioactive components, numerous chemical assays and preparation of microbial cultures. These new centrifuges will provide a safer environment for students and staff, and will be less harmful on the environment. Modern centrifugation facilities are also essential for training of HQP (highly qualified personnel), and the requested equipment will allow students to be trained on equipment that is representative of facilities used in industry.

在许多用于回收或分析食品中特定成分的方法中，离心是一个重要步骤。这也是准备在加工过程中纳入食品的材料的必要步骤。因此，大多数研究人员在某些时候使用它，当与食品成分一起工作时，通常使用大型地板模型离心机。该申请是为了取代该部门的两台落地式离心机，因为它们不再符合此类离心机的安全标准，并且经常需要维修。新型离心机改进了高速转子的屏蔽，并且在制冷系统中不再使用氯氟烃。所要求的离心机之一是生物安全模型，可用于微生物培养研究，同时最大限度地减少对离心机操作人员或离心机附近人员的风险。该设备将支持一系列研究项目，包括一般样品制备，蛋白质纯化，生物活性成分的回收，大量化学分析和微生物培养的制备。这些新的离心机将为学生和工作人员提供一个更安全的环境，并将减少对环境的危害。现代化的离心机设施对于HQP（高素质人才）的培训也是必不可少的，所要求的设备将使学生能够对工业中使用的具有代表性的设备进行培训。
