Determination of g-values
The centrifuging radius of the 1.5ml rotor is 7.3cm. See the “Rotor and
accessories” section for the correct radius when using adapters and smaller
tubes. The “Relative Centrifugal Force” chart can be used to determine g-values.
To use this chart, find the radius value on the radius scale. Place the edge of a ruler on
the value. Place the right side edge of the ruler on the speed scale at the desired speed.
The estimated RCF can then be read from the RCF scale where the ruler edge passes
through it. This chart can also be used to determine the proper speed for the desired
RCF value.
