centrifuge
Significado: A machine that rotates at high speed to separate substances of different densities by applying centrifugal force, widely used in laboratories, hospitals, and industrial processes.
Centrifuges are essential in medical diagnostics for separating blood components, in biochemistry for isolating proteins and DNA, and in industrial settings for purifying chemicals. The term gained broader public recognition through geopolitical reporting on uranium enrichment, where gas centrifuges are used to separate isotopes. As a verb, centrifuge means to subject something to centrifugal separation. It collocates with laboratory, ultra-, and high-speed.
Ejemplos
- The blood samples were placed in a centrifuge to separate the plasma from the red blood cells. 血液样本被放入离心机中,以将血浆与红细胞分离。Las muestras de sangre se introdujeron en una centrifugadora para separar el plasma de los glóbulos rojos.血液サンプルは遠心分離機に入れられ、血漿と赤血球が分離された。혈액 시료를 원심분리기에 넣어 혈장과 적혈구를 분리했다.
- International inspectors discovered that the facility housed thousands of gas centrifuges capable of enriching uranium. 国际视察人员发现该设施内装有数千台能够浓缩铀的气体离心机。Los inspectores internacionales descubrieron que la instalación albergaba miles de centrifugadoras de gas capaces de enriquecer uranio.国際査察官は、その施設にウラン濃縮が可能なガス遠心分離機が数千台設置されていることを発見した。국제 사찰단은 해당 시설에 우라늄 농축이 가능한 가스 원심분리기가 수천 대 설치되어 있다는 사실을 발견했다.
- The ultracentrifuge enabled researchers to isolate the viral particles for further analysis. 超速离心机使研究人员能够分离出病毒颗粒以进行进一步分析。La ultracentrifugadora permitió a los investigadores aislar las partículas víricas para un análisis más detallado.超遠心分離機により、研究者たちはさらなる分析のためにウイルス粒子を分離することができた。초원심분리기를 통해 연구자들은 추가 분석을 위해 바이러스 입자를 분리할 수 있었다.
