Centrifugation involves the use of centrifugal force, so as to increase the effective gravitational force on the components of a mixture, in order to separate them. The rate of centrifugation of a particle in a mixture is specified by the acceleration applied to the sample measured in revolutions per minute(rpm). The settling velocity of the particle is a function of its size and shape, viscosity of the medium, besides other factors. The ultracentrifuge is optimized for spinning a rotor at very high speeds, capable of generating acceleration as high as 1,000,000 g (9,800 km/s²).These high centrifugal forces are used to isolate very small particles, including ribosomes, proteins, viruses and to study membrane fractionation.
