Sample Preparation

Centrifuges work on the principle of sedimentation facilitated by an apparent angular force that draws components of a rotating sample away from the center of rotation. Although centrifugation theory is straightforward, its engineering literature is voluminous due to the number of industries and research operations that depend on the operation.

Combinatorial chemistry can be traced back to the 1960's, but didn't gain popularity until 1990 when pharmaceutical companies started compounding large amounts of potential new drugs into libraries. Now, combinatorial chemistry has moved into other disciplines such as materials science, biotechnology and even semiconductors
