Transferring Centrifugation Parameters From a Protocol to Your Own Conditions

What do you have to check and possibly adjust? We reveal the secret behind rcf and rpm and how to convert one to the other. Or you use our rcf/rpm online calculator.

Adapting Centrifugation Time

What can you do if your centrifuge and rotor provide, e.g., only lower g × force than your protocol requires? You can centrifuge for an appropriate longer length of time. But how much longer?

Poster: Aerosols in the Lab

Aerosols are colloidal systems of droplets and / or solid particles suspended in air. Aerosols can be found almost everywhere in the world and we inhale them continuously, so we should differentiate between harmful and harmless aerosols.

Braking Ramps

Most of the larger benchtop centrifuges on the market as well as some small benchtop centrifuges offer what are called acceleration and deceleration (braking) ramps. Most small benchtop centrifuges also enable the user to switch between a normal brake and a soft/slow brake.

And did you know, that very common laboratory activities produce aerosols? Depending on the particle, these aerosols can cause infections: many documented cases of laboratory-acquired infections resulting from the production and inhalation of infectious aerosols around the world proved this true.
