Elutriation

Overview

Elutriation is a process unique to counter flow centrifugation that enables particles of different size
and/or density to be separated from each other.
For a specific set of processing conditions (G force and flow rate), a larger cell can be in a stable state
in the fluidized bed whilst a smaller cell is not stable and will be washed (elutriated) from the bed.
