Centrifugal device
A centrifugal device capable of adjusting a temperature of a material. The centrifugal device applies centrifugal force on a contained material contained within a container by spinning the container while rotating the container. The centrifugal device includes: a rotating body rotating around a predetermined rotation axis line; a container holder that holds the container and is attached in a rotatable manner to the rotating body in a position that is a predetermined distance away from the rotation axis line of the rotating body; a compartment body that compartmentalizes a space including an area in which the rotating body rotates; one or a plurality of projection bodies that project from an inner surface of the compartment body towards the area in which the rotating body rotates; and a temperature adjustor that adjusts the temperature of the compartment body.
1. A centrifugal device that applies centrifugal force on a contained material contained within a container by spinning the container while rotating the container, the centrifugal device comprising:
a rotating body configured to be capable of rotating around a predetermined rotation axis line;
