Figure 5-1 Measuring the Centrifuge
Find the radius of your centrifuge in the first column of Figure 5-2. Draw a line from the radius value
through the 600 Gravities (g) column and into the rpm column. Read the rpm value from the straight
edge as shown in Figure 5-2. Run your centrifuge at this speed to achieve a force of 600g on your
samples.
