When working with centrifuges you’ll encounter two different measurement units that are called the Relative Centrifugal Force (RCF) and the number of revolutions per Minute (RPM). It is essential to be aware of the fact that they are both different. If they are not used correctly (which isn’t as rare as you believe) and the … Read more
Sucrose gradient centrifugation Definition Technique for the characterization and preparation of subcellular particles. A sucrose gradient is used to fill a centrifuge tube of the type swinging-bucket design. The bottom is the most dense, and the top the least dense. The solution is then layered with a suspension of the particles. Centrifugation separates particles in … Read more
