Transform RCF/g to RPM in your centrifuge
Convert RPM to RCF easily💫 Can your centrifuge only be programmed in RPM? Here's a quick solution to find out its equivalent in RCF (also called g). 📝 If you're used to reading scientific papers, you'll have noticed that the typical way of expressing the speed at which you should set a centrifuge is "RCF" or "g". This is because it's a standardized way of referring to the speed at which a centrifuge's rotor spins. What is special about this way of expressing rotational speed? What makes RCF the most accurate way to express the speed at which the centrifuge is set is that this value does not depend on the distance of the tube from the rotor axis, whereas RPM does. That is why we say that RCF is a standardized or normalized parameter. And what is the impact of the RCF being a standardized unit?🧪 By using RCF instead of RPM, you ensure that the centrifugal force you apply to your sample tubes is the same across all centrifuges in the world.🌎🌍 ...
