Centrifugation Rotor Calculator

Centrifugation Rotor Calculator

Calculator

To convert between centrifugation speed (RPM, Revolution Per Minute) and centrifugation force (RCF, Relative Centrifugal Force):

• 1. Choose a rotor type or input custom rotor parameters.
• 2. Type in RPM or RCF. The other variable will be computed automatically as you type.
• 3. k-factor is always automatically calculated.

  Rotor Comparison

  To compare rotors:

• 1. Select two rotor types or input custom rotor parameters.
• 2. Type in RPM or RCF for each rotor.
• 3. To compare centrifugation time, type in a centrifugation time for one of the two rotors. Centrifugation time for the other rotor will be estimated as you type.

  Quick Guide

   

• 1. Select a protocol.
• 2. Select a rotor or input custom rotor parameters.
• 3. RCF will be automatically set for a protocol and RMP automatically calculated.

  Note the quick guide is a general purpose guide for pelleting specific cell components. The centrifugation time is not giving here because it is dependent on specific protocol and rotor used. Please refer to your detailed protocol and use rotor comparison
