Question

What forms the basis for analysis of samples via centrifugation?​

Answer 1

Answer:

The conversion factor between RPM and g depends on the radius of the centrifuge rotor. The particles' settling velocity in centrifugation is a function of their size and shape, centrifugal acceleration, the volume fraction of solids present, the density difference between the particle and the liquid, and the viscosity.

Answer 2

Centrifugation is a very common technique to separate solid particles dispersed in liquid medium, e.g., blood cells and plasma. The liquid sample is placed in a special vial or holder, which is rotated very fast. Sample components are separated due to the centrifugal force, based on their density difference.
