RPM<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n- RPM \u2013 stands for \u201cRevolutions Per Minute\u201d and is the speed that your rotor spins in your centrifuge.
<\/li>\n\n\n\n - RPM is specific to individual centrifuge brands and rotor sizes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n
RCF<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n- RCF \u2013 stands for \u201cRelative Centrifugal Force\u201d and is better known as g-force. This indicates the actual force resulting from the spinning action in the centrifuge.
<\/li>\n\n\n\n - It is g-force that drives sample separation.
<\/li>\n\n\n\n - The following equation can be used to convert RPM to RCF for any model centrifuge.
<\/li>\n\n\n\n - RCF = 0.00001118 x radius of rotation (cm) x RPM2<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Note: radius of rotation is given by the distance of the furthest most point of the tube from the axis of rotation.
