Page 20: Appendix
APPENDIX Allowable Maximum Speed The maximum allowable speed needs to be reduced when centrifuging a solution with a density greater than 1.2 g/mL. Failure to reduce the speed may result in damage to the rotor and centrifuge. The revised maximum speed can be calculated with the following formula. Example: Where the density of the liquid is 1.9, the new allowable maximum speed would be calculated as follows: Reduced Speed = √(1.2/1.9) x 13,500 = 10,729 rpm...
