Figure 5-2 Determining the Correct Centrifuge Speed
To reduce the time required for the centrifugation step, operate your centrifuge at 1200g for 5 minutes.
POUR OFF SUPERNATANT AND VORTEX TO RESUSPEND CELL PELLET
Pour off the supernatant completely to effectively concentrate the sample. To do
this, invert the centrifuge tube 180 degrees in one smooth movement, pour off all
the supernatant, and then return the tube to its original position as shown in
Figure 5-3.

Observe the cell pellet during inversion to avoid accidental loss of
cellular material.
