The particle size above 5-micrometre sediment at the bottom with the
help of gravity but the particles having a size less than 5 micrometres,
start Brownian motion and do not sediment because of the gravity that’s
why they require the centrifugal force to separate properly. The
centrifugal force causes the denser dense particle direction of the radical
where writer practical moves to the centre. The ratio of the force acting
on radical the direction to the gravitational force is the centrifugal
effect.
Process of Centrifugation
2) The solid or liquid of higher specific gravity is thrown out word with
greater force.
2) Differential Centrifugation
3) Ultracentrifugation
Svedberg coined the term “ ultracentrifugation”.He was a chemist. He
used the ultra fuse to determine the MW and subunit structure of emo
globin. The first commercial ultra fuse was produced in 1940. An
important tool in biochemical research is the centrifuge, which through
rapid spinning imposes hi centrifugal forces on suspended particles, or
even molecules in solution, and causes separation of such matter on the
basis ultracentrifugation of differences in weight. For example, red cells
may be separated from the plasma of blood, nuclei from mitochondria
and cell homogenate, and one protein from another in complex
mixtures.
