To calculate the Relative Centrifugal Force (RCF):
RCF=(RPM)2×1.118×10−5×r
Where:
Relative Centrifugal Force (RCF) is a measure of the force exerted on a sample in a centrifuge, relative to the force of gravity. It is commonly used in laboratory settings to describe the intensity of the centrifugal force applied to samples during centrifugation.
Let's assume the following values:
Using the formula:
RCF=(5000)2×1.118×10−5×0.1≈27.95 g-force
The Relative Centrifugal Force is approximately 27.95 g-force.
Let's assume the following values:
Using the formula:
RCF=(10000)2×1.118×10−5×0.2≈223.60 g-force
The Relative Centrifugal Force is approximately 223.60 g-force.
