Centrifugation
“Centrifugation is a physical separation process that is based on the different density characteristics of substances such as blood cells and plasma.“[1]
Sample quality is a decisive factor for the determination of precise laboratory results. For optimal sample quality, the centrifugation time and relative centrifugal force should be properly selected.
This program provides the following benefits:
- Select the centrifugation time or the relative centrifugal force (RCF) for the S-Monovettes Serum-Gel, Lithium-Heparin-Gel and Citrate;
Centrifugation conditions for S-Monovettes
- Convert the relative centrifugal force (RCF) into rotational speed/min. (min1).
Conversion of RCF into rotational speed or vice versa
