Composition
 Centrifuge consist of four parts:
1.Drive and speed control
2.Temperature control
3.Vacuum system
4.Rotors
Drive & Speed control
 Drive: water-cooled electric motor
 Speed control:
1.selected by rheostat
2.monitored with a tachometer
Overspeed system
 Prevent operation of a rotor above its
maximum rated speed
 Consist of ^
1.a ring of alternating reflecting and
nonreflecting surfaces attached to the
bottom of the rotor.
2.a small but intense point source of
light
3.a photocell
Temperature control
 highspeed centrifuge:
placing a thermocouple in the rotor chamber
monitoring only the rotor chamber temperature
 Ultracentrifuge:
an infrared radiometric sensor placed beneath
the rotor
continuously monitors the rotor temperature
Vacuum system
 The speed of centrifuge < 15000 to
20000rp Not required
 The speed of centrifuge > 4000rpm
Required
Rotors
 Two types: angle rotor
swinging bucket rotor
Angle rotor:
Consist of a solid piece of metal with 6 to 12
holes
At an angle between 20属 and 45属
Swinging bucket rotor:
Hang three to six free moving buckets
Relative centrifugal force

velocity  an outward directed force F

F = 2
r
 F is expressed in terms of the earths
gravitational force, referred to as the
relative centrifugal force , RCF ( g)
RCF = 2
r / 980
 To be of use, these relationships must be
expressed in terms of revolutions per
minute , rpm
 Rpm values may be converted to radians

 RCF = ( (rpm) /30)2

r
So, RCF is related to r
The sample is located at a fixed
distance r
The problem is illustrated in the
following example
Example
 Calculate the RCF exerted at the top an
bottom of a sample vessel spinning in a
fixed angle rotor.^ Assume that the rotor
dimensions , rmin and rmax , are 4.8 and 8.0cm
, spinning at a speed of 12000rpm.
 Calculate RCFtop and RCFbottom
 Centrifugal force exerted at the top and
bottom of the sample tube differs by nearly
twofold
 To account for this , RCF values may be
expressed as an average RCF
value(RCFave)
RCFave = (1.119 10-5
)(12000)2

Sedimentation velocity
 v =dr / dt = 陸(p - m) 2
r /f
r(cm), the distance from the axis of rotation
to the sedimenting particle or molecule
陸(cm3
), volume of the particle
p(g/cm3
), the density of the particle
 m(g/cm3
), the density of the medium
f(g/sec), the frictional coefficient
v(cm/sec), the radial velocity of
sedimentation of the particle

r)
Or s = 陸 (p-m) f
S(s), unit:10-13

seconds = 18s
Frictional coefficient
 f = 6 侶rm
rm (cm), the molecule or particle radius
侶(g/cmsec) , the viscosity of the medium in
poises
 So, the rate of sedimentation is governed
by the size, shape, and density of the
sedimenting particle or molecule, as well
as by the viscosity and density of the
medium
 Most often the sedimentation coefficient is
corrected to the value that would be
obtained in a medium with a density and
viscosity of water at 20

侶20,w ,the viscosity of water at 20
p ,the density of the particle or molecule in solution
t,m , the density of the medium at the temperature of centrifugation

 s = (lnrt lnro) / (2

 tt t0 = 1/s  (lnrt lnro) / 2

rt , the radii at the top of the spinning centrifuge tube
r0 , the radii at the bottom of the spinning centrifuge tube
t is the time required to bring about total sedimentation or
pelleting of the sedimenting species
The density gradient
 The solution is most dense at the bottom
of the tube and decreases in density up to
the top of the tube.
 Two major types of techniques are
commonly used:
1.Zone centrifugation
2.Isopycnic centrifugation
Example^
 One method for further purifying fractions
is equilibrium density-gradient
centrifugation, which separates cellular
components according to their density
at a high speed (about
40,000 rpm) for several
hours

 Maximum gradiet density < the least dense

 During centrifugation sedimenting material
moves through the gradient at a rate
determined by its sedimentation coefficient
 It is important to terminate centrifugation
before the first species reaches the bottom
of the tube
 This method works well for species that
differ in size but not in density
Sums to be prepare
Sedimentation equilibrium
 Allowing the sedimenting species to move through the
gradient until they reach a point
 no further sedimentation occurs because they are floating
on a cushion of material that has a density greater than
their own
 Maximum gradient density > the most dense sedimenting
species
 prolonged periods and at relatively higher speeds
 This technique is used to separate particles similar in size
but of differing densities
