*) Centrifugation of round-bottom tubes and blood taking systems can be done using additional adapters
(see p. 86).
To determine the g-force (rcf) for a special adapter, you can perform a calculation according to DIN 58 970
with the following formula:
rcf = 1.118 · 10
-5 · n 2 · r
max
n: speed in min -1 (rpm)
r
max
: max. centrifuging radius in cm
Example:
In Rotor FA-45-30-11, the 0.5 mL adapter has a maximum radius of 8.4 cm. At 7,000 rpm, a maximum
g-force of 4,600 × g is achieved.
