Sedimentation

•Operates on the basis of density difference between components in a mixture (e.g. solids and liquid)
•Rate of sedimentation is dependent on:
–Magnitude of different in component densities
–Particle size, shape and concentration
–Magnitude of centrifugal force
–Flocculating of coagulating cells or organelles
