A tour of the cell
...technology of centrifugation allowed samples to be spun at very high speeds indeed, a refinement known as ultracentrifugation. For example, a centrifugation speed of 30 000 revolutions per minute (rpm) can produce a centrifugal force of 100 000 times Earth's gravitational force (100 000 × g). Ultracentrifugation using the appropriate types of sample preparation and...
